2 Points
Write a point-slope equation for the line that passes through the point (5,5)
and is parallel to the line given by y= 3x + 17. Do not use parenthesis on the y
side.

y - 5 = 3(x - 5)

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 = 3x + 17 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = 3 and (a, b) = (5, 5), thus

y - 5 = 3(x - 5) ← in point- slope form

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.

a.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1 distribute 2 to every term in the parentheses

step 2 add 10 on both sides of the equal sign
