Question 38290: find the equation of a line that contains the point (-2,4) and is parrallel to y=2x-3. Please show work. Thanks!! Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y = 2x - 3 is in the form y = mx + b where m = slope
therefore 2 is the slope of the line and any line parallel
to it must have the same slope.
The point-slope formual is here (x(1), y(1) = (-2,4)
multiply both sides by answer
The slope is 2 as it should be.
test to see if it goes through the point (-2,4).
OK
