Question

Write the equation of the line parallel to y= -5 through (2,7) .

Answer 1

Answer: y = 7

Step-by-step explanation: The equation of the original line in standard form is y = -5. Lines with a "y = b" equation are horizontal, so we know that the parallel line will also be horizontal and follow the y=b format. The original line passes through the point (2, 7) so the equation is y = 7.
