Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the equation of the line parallel to y = 5x - 2 and passing through the point (2, 3)?
  • Step 1: Identify the slope of the given line y = 5x - 2. The slope (m) is 5.
  • Step 2: Since parallel lines have the same slope, the slope of the new line will also be 5.
  • Step 3: Use the point-slope form of the equation of a line, which is y - y1 = m(x - x1). Here, (x1, y1) is the point (2, 3).
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the point-slope form: y - 3 = 5(x - 2).
  • Step 5: Simplify the equation. Distribute 5: y - 3 = 5x - 10.
  • Step 6: Add 3 to both sides to solve for y: y = 5x - 10 + 3.
  • Step 7: Combine like terms: y = 5x - 7.
  • Step 8: The final equation of the line parallel to y = 5x - 2 and passing through (2, 3) is y = 5x - 7.
