Question

Slope intercept form that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line (2,-1) and y=2x+2

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)

The equation of the given line is

y=2x+2

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = 2

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (2,-1) is 2

To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 2, x = 2 and y = -1 into y = mx + c. It becomes

- 1 = 2×2 + c = 4 + c

c = - 1 - 4 = - 5

The equation becomes

y = 2x - 5
