Question

2. What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,-7) and is

parallel to the line with equation y = 2x + 6?

Answer 1

Answer: y = 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

2x+1=y

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel means has the same slope, so slope equals 2

2x+b=y (we don't know the y-intercept)

plug in x and y

2(-4)+b=-7

-8+b=-7

b=1

so, 2x+1=y
