Question

What is the slope intercept equation for a parallel line through (1,3), parallel to y=2x+5

Answer 1

Answer:

the desired line is y = 2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

A line parallel to y=2x+5 has a very similar equation.  All we have to do here is to write y=2x+5 as y=2x+b and find b for x = 1 and y = 3.

Replacing y with 3 and x with 1, we get 3 = 2(1) + b.  Then b = 1, and the desired line is y = 2x+1
