The equation y = 2x + 2 is written in slope- intercept form (i.e. y=mx + b) where m represents the slope. So the slope of this line is 2. A line parallel to y = 2x + 2 will have the same slope. This means the slope of the new line will also be 2.

To determine the equation of the new line, we can use the given point to find the y intercept of the new line:

y = 2x + b

Use x = -1 and y =3 to find b (or the y intercept ) of the new line:

3 = 2 * (-1) + b

3= -2 + b

b=5

Therefore, the equation of the line passing thru (-1,3) with the same slope as that of y = 2x + 2 will be:

y = 2x + 5

Can you please help me on this question

Vesna [10]

The line of best fit just reaches the 2000 mark, which on the y axis isn't marked but the most logical choice is 19 gallons.

A - 19 gallons

Hope I helped!
