Write an equation of the line that passes through point P and is parallel to the line with the given equation:
P(3,5); y=2x-6

Respuesta :

Answer:

y = 2x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The line  y = 2x - 6 is in slope-intercept form, so the slope = 2.  The line you are looking for is parallel, hence also has a slope of 2.

Now, use the point-slope form of a line [tex]y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1} )[/tex]

y - 5 = 2(x - 3)

y - 5 = 2x - 6

y = 2x -1
