Question

What is the equation of a line parallel to y = 2x + 3 and passes through the point (2, 1)?

Group of answer choices

1. y = 2x - 3

2. y = 3x - 1

3. y = 2x + 2

4. y = 2x - 2

Answer 1

1. y = 2x - 3

Explanation:

parallel means they have the same slope of 2

use formula :

( y − k ) = m ⋅ ( x − h )

(h,k) = (2,1)

y - 1 = 2 * (x - 2)

y - 1 = 2x - 4

y = 2x - 3
