Question

Help…struggling on my math homework!

Find the equation of the line that contains (2, 1) and is
parallel to y = 7x + 1.
Write your answer in y = mx + b form.

Answer 1

y = 7x -13

Explanation:

since is parallel it has this form: y = 7x + n

then you just put in the point (2,1)

1 = 7 * 2 + n

1 = 14 + n

n = -13

so the answer is y = 7x -13

Answer 2

y = 7x + 2

y = 7x + 3

y = 7x + 4...

Explanation:

Change B to any value other than 1.

This makes the line never touch the other, because they are parallel.
