What is the equation of a line parallel to y-2x=3 that passes through the point (3,1)

y = 2x - 5

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 )

Rearrange y - 2x = 3 into this form by adding 2x to both sides

y = 2x + 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, 1) into the partial equation

1 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 6 = - 5

y = 2x - 5 ← equation of line

step-by-step explanation:

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
