AB contains the point (2,1) and (-1,-8). What is the equation of the line parallel to AB that contains points (0,2).
-----
Slope of the given line: m = (-8-1)/(-1-2) = -9/-3 = 3
-----
Form of the desired equation:
y = mx + b
Substitute for x,y and m ; solve for "b":
2 = 3*0 + b
b = 2
-----
Equation:
Y = 3x + 2
