find an equation of a line parallel to the give line and contains the given point. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

line y=3x+4, point (2,5)​

Answer:

y=3x-1

Step-by-step explanation

y=mx+b

Since it is parallel, the slope (mx) would stay the same but would need to find another y-intercept (b).

1. Plug in the x and y and leave the y-intercept as a variable.

5=3(2)+b -> 5=6+b

2. Subtract the 6 to get it on the other side.

-1=b

So the y-intercept should be -1

3. Then you plug the slope and y-intercept back in the y=mx+b

So the answer should be y=3x-1 or y=3x+(-1)
