Question

Describe the error in writing an equation of the line that passes through the point $\left(3,\ 4\right)$ and is parallel to the line $y\ =\ 2x+1$ . A note marked incorrect. The first line reads y equals 2 x plus 1 comma ordered pair 3 comma 4. Second line reads 4 equals m times 3 plus 1. Third line reads 1 equals m. Fourth line reads The line y equals x plus 1 is parallel to the line y equals 2 x plus 1. The $x$ - and $y$ -coordinates are substituted for the wrong variables. The $y$ -intercept $b$ should be solved for instead of the slope $m$ . To find $m$ , standard form must be used instead of slope-intercept form. Once the new slope is found, the new $y$ -intercept must also be found. Question 2 Correct the error. The line $y\ =\ $ is parallel to the line $y\ =\ 2x+1$ and passes through the point $(3,4)$ .
