Question

Create an equation for a line parallel to y=2x+3 containing points (3,-1)

 

Answer 1

Hi Amanda,

 

In this problem, you will want to use the slope-point format (y-y₁)= slope(x-x₁) to find the equation. We know that the slope of the line is 2 because it is parallel to y=2x+3. Therefore the equation is:

 

y+1 = 2(x-3)
