Write an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point. y = 2x + 2, (3, 2) First we find the slope of the given line by comparing it to y = mx + b y = 2x + 2, so we see that m = 2 and b = 2. Bur we only need m=2 Now we use the point slope form y - y1 = m(x - x1) using (x1, y1) = (3, 2), and m = 2 y - 2 = 2(x - 3) y - 2 = 2x - 6 y = 2x - 4 Edwin AnlytcPhil@aol.com
