Question

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that passes through the points (4,2) and is parallel to the graph of y = 2x +2?

Answer 1

y = 2x - 6

Explanation:

PARALLEL to y = 2x + 2

This means that the equation will have the same slope as the above equation.

Subsitute y and x.

2 = 2(4) + b

Solve for b.

b = -6
