Find an equation for the line with the given properties.
-Passing through $( 2,5 )$ and parallel to the line whose equation is $y = - 2 x + 3$; point-slope form
A) $y - 5 = - 2 ( x - 2 )$
B) $y - 2 = - 2 ( x - 5 )$
C) $y - 5 = x - 2$
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 $(2,5)$, the equation becomes $y - 5 = -2(x - 2)$.
