Question

Write an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point.

1. y=2x+1; (0,4)
2. y= -x-3; (0,7)
3. y=-8x +9; (0,-2)

Answer 1

The points it gives you are y intercepts, and because you’re trying to find lines parallel- the only thing that changes for the equation is the y intercept.

1) y=2x+4
2) y=-x+7
3)y=-8x-2
