You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find equation of line passing through the point (2, 5) parallel to the line: y = 4x + 10.
-----
The given line has slope = 4
---
Any line parallel to it must have the same slope:
---
Equation Form: y = mx + b
You know y = 5 when x = 2, and m = 4 ; solve for "b":
5 = 4*2 + b
b = -3
-----
Equation:
y = 4x -3
