Question

Write an equation of the line parallel to y=3x+5 and passing through the point (5,9) in point-slope form. Show all work.

Answer 1

Answer:

$y - 9 = 3(x - 5)$

Explanation:

y=3x+5

If you want the equation parallel, then the slope will be: 3

Point Slope Form: $y - y_{1} = m( x - x_{1})$

Since we have everything we need for this equation, we just need to fill in the blanks:  $y - 9 = 3(x - 5)$
