Question

Find an equation of the line through (2,6) and parallel to y=2x+3

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We first Find the Slope of the line y=2x+3

The Slope Intercept Form of the equation of a given line is:

y=mx+c

where m is the Slope of that line, and c is the Y intercept.

For this line, the Slope is 2

So the Slope of the line PARALLEL to y=2x+3 will also be 2. And we are given that it passes through the point (2,6)

The Point-Slope form of the Equation of a Straight Line is:

(y−k)=m⋅(x−h)

m is the Slope of the Line

(h,k) are the co-ordinates of any point on that Line.

Here, we have been given the coordinates (h,k) of 1 point on that line as (2,6)

And the Slope m is 2

Substituting the values of h,k and m in the Point-Slope form, we get

(y−2)=(2)⋅(x−6)

(y−2)=2⋅(x-6)

y−2=2x -12

y=2x -12 +2

y=2x-10

The graph will look like
