Write the equation of the line passing through the point (2,4) and parallel to the line whose equation is y=x.

Y = xsame as y = 1x + 0slope here is 1. A parallel line will have the same slope

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1
(2,4)x = 2 and y = 4
now we sub and find b, the y int
4 = 1(2) + b
4 = 2 + b
4 - 2 = b
2 = b

so ur parallel equation is : y = x + 2

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!
