Question

Write the equation of the line parallel to the line and passing through the point.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same gradient in this case 1 is the gradient.

Using the point (8,1) we can form our own equation.

1 will be y, 1 will be m, 8 will be x

All we have to do is find C in order to form the equation y=mx+c

1 = 1(8) + c

1 = 8 + c

C = - 7

Therefore;

y = x - 7
