Write an equation in standard form that is parallel to the line y = 2x - 1 that passes through the point (1, 2). 2x - y = 0 O x - 2y = 1 0 + -2x + y = 0 O x + y =3

2x - y = 0

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 )

y = 2x - 1 ← is 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 (1, 2) into the partial equation

2 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 2 = 0

y = 2x ← equation in slope- intercept form

Subtract y from both sides

0 = 2x - y , that is

2x - y = 0 ← equation in standard form
