Question

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (-1,3) and is parallel to the line represented by y=2x−7?

Answer 1

y = 2x + 5

Explanation:

The slope of 2 parallel line are always the same. This means that we can easily tell that the slope of the equation that we are trying to solve has a slope of 2. To find the "b" in the slope-intercept form, plug in the coordinates given and that's how you get the answer above.
