Question

Write an equation in standard form of the line that contains the point ​(-1,4) and is parallel to​​ (has the same slope​ as) the line y=2x-7

The equation of the line in standard form is

Answer 1

slope of line AB = 5

Let the required line be 'l'.

since AB is parallel to 'l'.

so slope of 'l' = slope of AB = 5.

So, the required equation of line which passes through (4,5) and having slope 5 is given by

y - 5 = 5(x - 4).........[using slope point form]

y = 5x - 20 + 5

y = 5x - 15.
