Question

The equatin of line AB is y = 2x + 4. What is the equation of a line parallel to line AB in slope-intercept form that contains the point (3, -2)2

Answer 1

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, so if the slope of the given line is 2, the slope of the "new" line is also 2, and the slope-intercept equation becomes:

y = 2x + b.

Here you seem to have a "misprint," as "(3, -2)2 is not a valid expresion.

Supposing that y ou meant (3, -2), then our equation becomes

-2 = 2(3) + b, or -8 = b.

The desired equation is then y = 2x - 8

If this is not what you expected, please focus on your (3, -2)2 and rewrite it properly.
