Question

write an equation in standard form for a line that is (a) parallel (b) to the line with an equation of y=3x-5 that passes through the point (8,5)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3x - 19

Step-by-step explanation:

For two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope. The given slope is 3. Then, plug the given slope and coordinates into the slope-intercept form.

y = mx + b

5 = 3(8) + b

5 = 24 + b

-19 = b

y = 3x - 19
