Find an equation for the line with the given properties.
-Passing through $( 4,5 )$ and parallel to the line whose equation is $y = 2 x - 6$; point-slope form
A) $y - 5 = 2 ( x - 4 )$
B) $y - 4 = 2 ( x - 5 )$
C) $y - 5 = x - 4$
D) $y = 2 x$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lines that are parallel have the same slope. The given line has a slope of 2. Using the point-slope form $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$ with $m = 2$ and the point $(4,5)$, we get $y - 5 = 2(x - 4)$.
