Question

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of a line that is parallel to y=2x+5 and passes through the point (2, 8)?

Enter your answer by filling in the boxes.
y=__x +__

Answer 1

The answer is Y=2x + 4

I just took the test

Explanation:

Answer 2

y=2x+4

Explanation:

slope=2 as parallel lines have the same slope

y=2x+b , if x=2 then y=8 , so 2x2+b=8

so, b=4

Therefore the equation is y=2x+4
