Question

A line is parallel to y=5x+3 and intersects the point (3,9). What is the equation of this parallel line?

Answer 1

y=5x-2

Explanation:

Answer 2

y = 5x - 6

Explanation:

Slope of the parallel lines are same

So, m= 5

(3,9)

Equation: y - y1 = m(x -x1)

y - 9 = 5(x - 3)

y - 9 = 5x - 3*5

y -9 = 5x -15 {add 9 to both sides}

y - 9 + 9 = 5x - 15 + 9

y = 5x - 6
