Question

How do you write the equation in point slope form given (2,5) and is parallel to y = 3x + 8?

Answer 1

The equation of line is `y= 3x-1`

Explanation:

Parallal lines have equal slope. The slope of the line `y=3x+8` is `3 [y=mx+c]`.Therefore the slope of the line is also `3.`

The equation of line passing through `(2,5)` is `y-y_1 = m(x-x_1) or y-5= 3(x-2) or y-5 = 3x -6 or y=3x-6+5 or y= 3x-1`[Ans]
