Question

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to y = 2x - 7 and contains the point (-3,6)

Answer 1

1) The first step is to Know the condition for two lines be parallel is that have the same slope, and this form the slope given is 2, therefore the new function has its slope too

2)  with the slope and the two points givens, you can find the equation

Y-Y1 = m( X-X1) ,   Y-6 = 2[(X-(-3)]  ⇒Y-6 = 2X+6 ⇒Y = 2X+12, AND THIS IS THE EQUATION PARALLEL TO THE LINE Y = 2X-7
