Find the equation of a line that is parallel to y = 3x - 5 and passes through the point (1, 2).
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Given:
Line y = 3x − 5
Point (1, 2)
By the formula:
Parallel lines have the same slope
y − y₁ = m(x − x₁)
m = 3
y − 2 = 3(x − 1)
y − 2 = 3x − 3
y = 3x − 1
