Question

Write the equation of the line passing through (-2, 1) and parallel to the line whose equation

is y = 2x + 1. Express the equation in point-slope form and slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Answer: y=2x+1 (slope intercept form) & y-1=2(x+2) (point slope form)

Explanation:

Parallel means the m value or slope are equal

Given those points and the slope you can begin to write the slope y intercept form

y=2x+B

Solve B or Y intercept x=0 and the Y value we get from the given points.

1=2*0+B

y=2x+1 (slope intercept form)

for point slope plug the points in this equation

y-y1=m(x1-x1)

y-1=2(x+2) (point slope form)
