Consider the point A = (1,3) and the line B, given by the equation y = 2x-2. Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line passing through point A and parallel to line B.

Please help!

Respuesta :

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is [tex]y=2x+1[/tex]

Explanation:

The point A is [tex](1,3)[/tex]

The equation of line for B is given by [tex]y=2x-2[/tex]

We need to determine the equation of line in slope intercept form passing through the point A and parallel to line B.

Since, the lines of equation are parallel, their slopes are same.

Thus, the slope is [tex]m=2[/tex]

Now, let us substitute the point [tex]A(1,3)[/tex] and slope [tex]m=2[/tex] in the slope - point formula, we have,

[tex]y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)[/tex]

 [tex]y-3=2\left(x-1\right)[/tex]

 [tex]y-3=2x-2\right)[/tex]

       [tex]y=2x-2+3\right)[/tex]

       [tex]y=2x+1[/tex]

Thus, the equation of the line in slope - intercept form is [tex]y=2x+1[/tex]
