Question

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = 3x + 1 and passes through

the point (1, 2).
(Show Work and steps)

Answer 1

`y=3x-1`

Explanation:

lines that are parallel have the same gradient

using this fact we can create the equation:

`y=3x+c`

and substitute in our values

`2=3+c`

`c=-1`

so the equation of the line is
`y=3x-1`
