Given line: y=2x-5. What is the parellal line to the given line

Question

GIVEN line: y=2x-5

Write an equation for a line perpendicular to the given line

Answer 1

y = 2x -5 has parallel lines that have the same slope = 2

y=mx +b is a general equation for a line with slope = m and y intercept = -5

y=2x +b is a parallel line for any b not = -5

if b=-5 it's the same line

y=2x

y=2x +5

y=2x -10 are all parallel lines

There's an infinite number of parallel lines
