Question

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the graph of y = 2x - 5 and passes through the point (4,2)?

Answer 1

2x-6

Explanation:

Have a good day!

Answer 2

`y=2x-6`

Explanation:

• A line parallel to another will have the same gradient
• So the equation will be
  `y=2x+c`
• We need to find out what c is, so substitute in the values for x and y
• 
  `2=2* 4 + c`
• 
  `2=8+c`
• 
  `c=2-8=-6`
• So your equation is
  `y=2x-6`!
