Question

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y = 7x +13 that passes through the point (28, 8).

Answer 1

y=7x-188

Explanation:

We know that this line must have a slope of 7, because this line is parallel to y=7x+13

We must use the point slope formula: y-
`y_(1)`= m(x-
`x_(1)`)

Next, we will plug in the point (28,8) for
`y_(1)` and
`x_(1)`, and 7 in for m

y-8=7(x-28)

Solve the equation, first by distributing the 7

y-8=7x-196

Add the 8 over

y=7x-188
