Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line parallel to y=8x-8 through (5,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation would be y = 8x - 38

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of this new line, we first need to identify the slope of the first line. In slope-intercept form, the slope is always the coefficient of x. This makes the slope of the first equation 8. Since parallel lines have the same slope, our new slope will also be 8.

Given that and the point, we can solve for the equation using point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 8(x - 5)

y - 2 = 8x - 40

y = 8x - 38
