Determine the equation of a line that is parallel to y = 5x + 3 and passes through (4, 3).

Question

Determine the equation of a line that is parallel to y = 5x + 3

 and passes through (4, 3).

Answer 1

y+3 = 5(x-4)

y = 5x -20 -3

y = 5x -23 is the parallel line through the point (4,3)

all parallel lines have the same slope = the coefficient of the x term when a linear equation is solved for y
