Given:

y = 3x - 2

The point C(2, 3) is translated along a vector that is parallel to the line above.

Using the slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope

Since they are parallel lines, they have equal slope.

Thus, m = 3

Given the points: (x, y) ==> (2, 3)

We have:

y = mx + b

3 = 3(2) + b

Solve for b:

3 = 6 + b

b = 3 - 6

b = -3

We now have the equation:

y = 3x - 3

Given that the vector has a magnitude of √10, the possible images of point C is:
