Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (−3,−11) and is parallel to the line with the equation y=2x−4

?


A.y=2x−5



B.y=2x+5



C.y=−12x−252



D.y=12x+252

Answer 1

parallel means same slope.  m = 2

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - (-11)= 2(x - (-3))

y + 11 = 2(x + 3)

y + 11 = 2x + 6

  -11           -11  

    y = 2x - 5

Answer: A
