Question 893569: Parallel to and passes through (0,2).
Plz give me formula and work... I'm using this as a guide for my homework.
Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You want the same slope for the parallel line.
y=mx+b, and slope is m.

You are looking for
and solving for b,

Substituting to needed point,

The equation you want is .

You would do best to know the currently needed equations and formulas and use
your existing skills for this kind of exercise than to derive a formula specific
for this general exercise. On the other hand, no harm in actually deriving such
a formula.
