Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel

Mathematics
1 answer:
Semenov [28]3 years ago
3 0

So when an equation or set of equations are parallel, that means that the equations have the same slope.

for the given equation, it has a slope of 2.

so to find the equation of the other line, you substitute the coordinate and slope into the equation y=mx+b.

-2=2(3)+b

-2=6+b

-8=b

So your function that is parallel has a slope of 2 and a y intercept at -8 or (0,-8).

Then just substitute those values into the equation.

y=2x-8

What is meant if we say “this equation is an identity”?
scoray [572]



Identity

An identity is an equation that is true for all values of the variables. For example:

(x+y)^2=x^2+2xy+y^2
The above equation is true for all possible values of x and y, so it is called an identity.

Strictly speaking we should use the "three bar" sign to show it is an identity as shown below. But it is very common to use the equal sign.
