Question

Write an equation for a like that is parallel to the given point. Explain how you found the equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

The line would be y = 2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a parallel line, we first need to note that the slope of the original line is 2. This means the slope of our new line will also be 2 because parallel lines have the same slope.

So we use the slope we found along with the point given in point-slope form. Then we solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 11 = 2(x - 3)

y - 11 = 2x - 6

y = 2x + 5
