Question 672158
Write an equation in point-slope form that is parallel to y=2x+5 and contains the point (3,-8)


Slope, or m = 2, since lines are parallel


Using m = 2, the point (3, - 8), and the point-slope form, {{{y - y[1] = m(x - x[1])}}}, we get:  y - - 8 = 2(x - 3)


{{{highlight_green(y + 8 = 2x - 6)}}}
