Write the equation of the line passing through the point (-2, 2) that is parallel to the line y = 2x + 3
1 answer:
Hi there! :)
A line that is parallel to y = 2x + 3 must have the same slope of 2. Therefore:
We can use the given point as well as the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b to solve.
Plug in the x-coordinate for "x" and y-coordinate of the point into "y":
2 = 2(-2) + b
2 = -4 + b
6 = b
Rewrite the equation:
y = 2x + 6

<h3>What is a number line?</h3>A number line is a horizontal line with evenly spaced numerical increments. The numbers on the line will dictate how you answer the number on the line.
A number line in elementary mathematics is a representation of a graduated straight line that serves as an abstraction for real numbers, denoted by \mathbb {R}. Every point on a number line is assumed to be a real number, and every real number is assumed to be a point.
Number lines are extremely adaptable, that can be used to locate numbers, compare numbers, fractions and mixed numbers, decimals, integers, absolute value, addition, subtraction, inequalities, multiples, common denominators, and much more.
