Question

1. Write the slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through the point (0, 1) and is parallel to the line y = 3x - 5

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel to each other, they have the same slope.

The first line is Y = 3X - 5. Its slope is 3. A line parallel to this one will also have a slope of 3.

Plug this value (3) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.

y = 3x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (0, 1). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

1 = 3(0) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x (0)

1 = 0 + b

Now, add 0 to both sides to isolate b.

1 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = 3x + 1

This equation is parallel to your given equation (y = 3x - 5) and contains point (0, 1)

Hope this helps!
