Question

Find the equation of a line parallel to y = 2x + 4 that goes through the point (2,5)

Answer 1

y= 2x+1

Explanation:

Line parallel to y = 2x + 4

And that goes through the point (2,5)

-----------

Parallel lines have equal slope, so it will be in the form of y= 2x+b

Let's find the value of y-intercept (b) by using the given point:

• 5= 2*2+b
• b= 5-4
• b= 1

So the line is: y= 2x+1
