Question

Determine the equation of the line that is parallel to y=23x+4 and passes through the point (3,7).

Answer 1

Answer:  y = 23x - 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope.

y = 23x + 4

  m=23   b=4

Input x = 3, y = 7, & m = 23 into the Point-Slope formula to find the equation or the Slope-Intercept formula to find b (you already have m).  I will choose the latter.

 y = mx + b

 7 = 23(3) + b

 7 = 69 + b

-62 = b

m = 23, b = -62  -->  y = 23x - 62
