Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = 3/2x + 5 and goes through the point (0, 7)

Answer 1

y = 3/2x + 7

Explanation:

Because the ordered pair (0, 7) can be considered the y-intercept, all you have to do is replace the +5 with +7 to represent the new y-intercept. The slope stays the same as the lines are parallel.
