Question

ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Consider the point A=(1,3) and the line B, given by the equation y=2x-2 write an equation in slope-intercept of the line passing through point A and parallel to line B

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

From line B, y = 2x -2 and comparing with the general equation of line, y = mx +c, we have

m1 = 2

Parallelism rule states that m1=m2

Therefore, m2 = 2

Hence, the equation passing through point A(1,3) is

y-y1 = m2(x-X1)

y - 3 = 2(x-1)

y-3 = 2x-2

y = 2x-2+3

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