Point-Slope Form and Slope-Intercept Form

Question

Write an equation for line L in point-slope form and slope-intercept form. L is parallel to y=5x. Write an equation for line L in point-slope form. Simplify your answer. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation.

Answer 1

Parallel lines have the SAME slopes but different y intercepts.

Point slope form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

So one example of a line parallel to this one is:

y=5x+2
