Question

Bonus Problem. Write equations of the following lines.

Answer 1

Answer: y= 2x  -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slopes but different y-intercepts. In this case, we will just need to find the y-intercept for the line that is parallel to y=2x - 4.

To find the y intercept, we will need the point (1,1) by plotting in the x and y coordinate into the y intercept formula y=mx +b.  m is the slope which will be 2 and b will be the y-intercept.

1 = 2(1) + b  

1 = 2 + b    

-2  -2

b = -1  

  The equation will be y= 2x  -1
