Find an equation of the line that passes through the point (−1, 7) and is parallel to the line passing through the points (−2, −5) and (2, 3)

Answer 1

the line through (-2,-5) and (2,3) has slope = (3--5)/2--2) = 8/4= 2

a line parallel through (-1,7) is

y=2x + b where b is the y intercept. plug in (-1,7) to calculate b

7=2(-1) + b

b = 9

y=2x+9 is the parallel line through (-1,7)
