Equation of a line

Question

Write an equation of the line (2,6) and parallel to y = 2x - 4. Write the equation in the form y = mx + b.

Answer 1

Kate, parallel lines have the same slope. Plug in the point to find b for our equation.

 

6 = 2(2) + b

6 = 4 + b

b = 2

 

Our new equation is y = 2x + 2
