Write an equation of the line parallel to the given line and with the given y-intercept.
y=2x-3
b=-2
.
slope of
y=2x-3
is 2
A line parallel must have the same slope (2).
.
Slope-intercept form of a line is:
y = mx + b
where
m is slope
b is the y-intercept
.
plug in what we know:
y = mx + b
y = 2x + (-2)
y = 2x - 2 (answer)
