what equation is parallel to the graph of y=2x-5 and goes through the point (3,9)

Answer 1

any parallel line has the same slope. when the linear equation is solved for y, then the slope is the coefficient of the x term

y=2x + b, to calculate b plug in the point x=3, y=9

9 = 2(3) + b

b = 9-6 = 3

y=2x +3 is the parallel line through the point (3,9)
