The equation of the line passing through point W is y=3x+2 . How would you find the equation of a line that is parallel to the given line and passes through point A?

Answer 1

equation of line is y = mx + b. m is slope b is y-intercept. slope of line through point A will have the same slope of the line it is parallel to , i.e., m would equal 3.

So y = 3x + b. Substitute the x,y coordinates of A into the equation to solve for b to get the final equation.
