Answer:
C. y = 2x − 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation of line
2x − y = 3
rewriting the equation in slope intercept form as answer are given slope intercept form
y = 2x - 3
slope intercept form of equation is
y = mx + c
where m is the slope
c is y intercept
thus
slope for y = 2x - 3 when comparing with y = mx + c is 2
now we know slope of two parallel line is same
thus,
the slope of line that is parallel to the line 2x − y = 3
is 2
Let the equation of required line be y = mx + c
where m = 2
thus
y = 2x + c is the new required equation
it passes through the point (2, −1)
using y = -1 and x = 2 in y = 2x + c
-1 = 2*2 + c
c = -1 - 4
c = -5
thus,
equation of required line is option c
y = 2x - 5 ----answer
