You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Whenever you are doing these types of problems, First make sure your equation is in y = mx + b form. Which yours is: y = 2x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "Remember (m) represents the slope (which is 2 in your equation)
\n" ); document.write( "And (b) represents the y-intercept (which is also 2 in your equation)
\n" ); document.write( "Parallel lines have slopes that are equal to each other. Therefore we can say that the slope of the line we are looking for is also 2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We know that the line we are looking for passes through the point (3, 2)
\n" ); document.write( "Remember that 3 represents the x value and 2 represents the y value.
\n" ); document.write( "We can use the following equation: (y - y1) = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "(y - 2) = 2(x - 3) Now we multiply through the right side of the equation
\n" ); document.write( "(y - 2) = 2x - 6 Now we add 2 to both sides of the equation
\n" ); document.write( " y = 2x - 4
\n" ); document.write( "The above is the equation of the line you are looking for!
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helped! \n" ); document.write( "
