Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the Equation of a Line Parallel or Perpendicular to a Given Line

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Since any two parallel lines have the same slope we know the slope of the unknown line is \"2\" (its from the slope of \"y=2%2Ax%2B0\" which is also \"2\").\n" ); document.write( "Also since the unknown line goes through (1,-1), we can find the equation by plugging in this info into the point-slope formula
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Point-Slope Formula:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\" where m is the slope and (\"x%5B1%5D\",\"y%5B1%5D\") is the given point
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y%2B1=2%2A%28x-1%29\" Plug in \"m=2\", \"x%5B1%5D=1\", and \"y%5B1%5D=-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y%2B1=2%2Ax-%282%29%281%29\" Distribute \"2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y%2B1=2%2Ax-2\" Multiply
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=2%2Ax-2-1\"Subtract \"-1\" from both sides to isolate y
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=2%2Ax-3\" Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So the equation of the line that is parallel to \"y=2%2Ax%2B0\" and goes through (\"1\",\"-1\") is \"y=2%2Ax-3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So here are the graphs of the equations \"y=2%2Ax%2B0\" and \"y=2%2Ax-3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " graph of the given equation \"y=2%2Ax%2B0\" (red) and graph of the line \"y=2%2Ax-3\"(green) that is parallel to the given graph and goes through (\"1\",\"-1\")
