Ometry: CC 2015 > Chapter 3: Equations of Parallel and Describe the error in writing an equation of the line that passes through the point (3, 4) and is parallel to the line y = 2:0 + 1
Х
y=2x + 1,(3,4)
4 = m(3) + 1
15m
The line y = x+ 116 parallel
to the line y + 2x + 1
The #- and y-coordinates are substituted for the wrong variables
The y-intercept b should be solved for instead of the slope m
To find m standard form must be used instead of slope-intercept form
26
Once the new slope is found the new y-intercept must also be found
Correct the error
The line y
is parallel to the line y
2+1 and passes through the point (3,4).
