Question

Equation parallel to y = 3x + 2 and passing through (1, 1)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, 1) into the partial equation

1 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 3 = - 2

y = 3x - 2 ← equation of line
