Question

3. What is the equation of the line that
passes through the point (1,5); and
is parallel to the equation. y= -2x - 4

Answer 1

hello

so when finding a parallel line both lines need to have the same slope, the slope of the line from the given equation is -2.

then we use the point slope formula to find the equation of the line that passes through (1,5).

y-5=-2(x-1)
y-5=-2x+2
y=-2x+7

hope this helps!
have a nice day :)
