Question 844330
Find the equation in slope-intercept form that is parallel to y = 5x - 9 and goes through (2,1)
--------------
y = 5x - 9 is in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b
m is the slope, b is the y-intercept.
---
The slope is 5
All parallel lines have the same slope.
---
--> find AN equation (not the equation) thru (2,1) with a slope of 5
Use y = mx + b and the point to find b
1 = 5*2 + b
b = -9
-----------------------
--> y = 5x - 9
