Answer:
y=2x+6
Step-by-step explanation:
We use this following formula to find the equation:
[tex]y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )[/tex]
Now, we substitute the values in [tex]y_{1}[/tex] and [tex]x_{1}[/tex] :
[tex]y-8=2(x-1)[/tex]
Distribute the 2 inside the parentheses:
[tex]y-8=2x-2[/tex]
Now add 8 to both sides:
[tex]y=2x+6[/tex] is your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept
y=2x-1
2=slope
-1=y intercept
NOTE: parallel lines have the same slope
and we put the point (1,8) into y=mx+b with (x,y)
8=1m+b
now we put in 2 for the slope
8=1(2)+b
6=b
2=m
now insert that back into y=mx+b
y=2x+6
and that is the line that is parallel to y=2x-1 and passes through (1,8)
Hope that helps :)
