Will give brainliest if the answer is right!

the equation of a line is y = 2x + 3. what is the equation of the line that is parallel to the first line and passes through (2, –1)?

a.
4x – 2y = –6
b.
y = 2x – 5
c.
y = 3x + 4
d.
2x + y = –1

If it's a parallel line, the slope would be the same, which would be 2. This opts out C). We can change A) and D) to slope intercept form first to see what their slopes are:

A) 4x - 2y = -6
    -2y = -4x = -6
     y = 2x + 3

D) 2x + y = -1
     y = -2x - 1

D) can be opted out.

That leaves us with A) and B)

Plug the points (2, -1) in B:

-1 = 2 * 2 - 5

-1 = -1

Therefore, B) is the correct answer.

“exterior angles of triangles. an exterior (or external) angle is the angle between one side of a triangle and the extension of an adjacent side. try this drag the orange dots on any vertex to reshape the triangle.” look to get to the answer i explained what it means and other things i hope it you .
