Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point. y=5x+8; (2,16)

The equation for new line is y = 5x + 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a line is parallel to the given line, their gradient will be the same. So the gradient for this new equation is :

We have found out that the gradient of new equation is 5, then, you have to substitute the coordinates into the equation to find b :

109 is the nearest whole number/final answer! : )

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
