Question

A line passes through the point (5,6) and is parallel to the line given by the equation y = 2x - 12. Which of these is an equation for the line? O A. y-5=-264-6) B. y - 6 = -2(x - 5) C. y + 6 = 2(x + 5) D. Y- 6 = 2(x - 5)​

Answer 1

Answer: D

Explanation:

(lines parallel to each other have the same slope)

slope = m = 2

y = mx + b, (5,6)

6 = 2(5) + b

6 = 10 + b

b = -4

y = 2x - 4

y - 6 = 2(x - 5)

y - 6 = 2x - 10

y = 2x -4
