Question

Given the point (-3, 6) and a line y=2x-8, write an equation of a line through the point and parallel to the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is     y = 2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

P (-3, 6)

line y = 2x - 8

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Slope of the line given = m = 2

Slope of the new line = m = 2

- Get the equation of the new line

          y - 6 = 2(x + 3)

          y - 6 = 2x + 6

          y = 2x + 6 + 6

          y = 2x + 12
