Question

find the equation of the straight line which passes through the point (-2,4) and is parallel to the line y = 2x +5
i need help

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What we do know about parallel lines is that they have the same gradient

Therefore, m1=m2 implying that the other line has a gradient of two(2)

We then substitute the the general formula y=mx+c

where y=4(as shown in the question)

4=2*-2 + c

4=-4 + c

8=c

In conclusion the equation of that straight line is y=2x+8
