Question 258994: Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line that passes through the given point? (3,4); y = 2x - 7? I don't understand... Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line that passes through the given point? (3,4); y = 2x - 7?
-----------------
The slope, m of the line is 2
All parallel lines have the same slope.
--------------
Use y = mx + b and the point to find b:
4 = 2*3 + b
b = -2
----------
y = 2x - 2
