Question

Identify an equation in slope-intercept form for the line parallel to y = 5x + 2 that passes through (-6,-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=5x+29$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=mx+b$

Since the line is parallel, the slope, m, will be the same.

Use the point provided to find the y-intercept b:

$-1=5(-6)+b$

$-1=-30+b$

$b=29$

Now, we rewrite the equation:

$y=5x+29$
