Question

the equation for line v can be written as y=-2x+10, line v which is parallel to line v. inclides(-1,2) what is the equation of line v2

Answer 1

y=-2x +10

any parallel line has the same slope =2, the coefficient of the x term when the linear equation is solved for y

y=-2x + b is a parallel line. Plug in the point (-1,2) x=-1, y=2 to solve for b, the y intercept

2 =-2(-1) + b

2 =2 +b

b= 2-2 = 0

y =-2x is a parallel line through (-1,2)
