passes through (2,-7) parallel to y=x-2

Question

passes through (2,-7) parallel to y=x-2

Answer 1

y = x-2       The slope of this line is 1. Since parallel lines have the same slope, the slope of the new line will also be 1.

 

Use the Point-Slope form for the equation of a line:

y - y₁ = m(x-x₁)

 

y - (-7) = 1(x - 2)

y + 7 = x - 2

y = x - 9
