Question

Write the equation of the line that contains the point (2,1) and is parallel to the line 4x−2y=3

Answer 1

y=2x-3

Explanation:

4x-2y=3

-2y=3-4x

2y=4x-3

y=4x/2-3/2

y=2x-1.5 m1=2 (the number near x)

If the searched line is parallel to the line 4x−2y=3, m1=m2= 2

y=m2x+b - the searched line

1=2*2+b

b=-3

y=2x-3
