Question

Find the equation of the line parallel to the graph 2x-y=7 that contains the point (-1,3). y=

Answer 1

Given: 
2x - y = 7
Point: (-1,3)


Step 1: 

    2x - y  = 7
  - 2x      - 2x
---------------------
    y = -2x + 7 


Step 2: (-1,3)
               x₁ y₁

y - 3 = -2(x - (-1))
 y - 3 = -2x - 2
  + 3         + 3
---------------------
 y = -2x + 1    ⇒        Final Answer
