Write the equation in slope intercept form that is parallel to y=2x+5 & contains the point 3,-8
-----
The given line has slope = 2.
Any line parallel to it must have slope = 2.
----
Form: y = mx + b
You have y = -8 when x = 3 and m = 2
----
Solve for "b":
-8 = 2*3 + b
b = -14
--------
Equation:
y = 2x -14
