Answer:
The answer to your question is y = 2x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Point (2, -1)
line: y = 2x + 2
Process
1.- Find the slope of the line parallel
- The slope is the coefficient of the of the x.
y = 2x + 2 the slope of the line is 2
2.- Find the equation of the new line
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
- Substitution
y + 1 = 2(x - 2)
- Simplification
y + 1 = 2x - 4
- Solve for y
y = 2x - 4 - 1
y = 2x - 5
You have to plug in 2 for x and -1 for y. So your equation would look like -1=2(2)+2 and then you would distribute and solve
