Question 175557: Write an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point.
A) y=x + 3. (5, 0)
B) y= 2x + 3. (-4,1)

A) the slope has to be the same to be parallel m the slope for y=x+3 is 1. Now we have the slope and a point. using the point slope formula
:
y-0=1(x-5)
:

:
B)in y=2x+3 the slope is 2. using the point slope formula
:
y-1=2(x+4)
:
y-1=2x+8
