The equation of line CD is y = −2x − 2. What is the equation of a line parallel to line CD in slope-intercept form that contains point (4, 5)

Answer:

[tex]\[y=-2x+13\][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of the line CD is given as [tex]\[y=-2x-2\][/tex]

Slope of the line CD = -2

Slope of the line parallel to CD = -2

Equation of the line parallel to CD is given by [tex]\[y=mx+c\][/tex]

[tex]\[y=-2x+c\][/tex]

But this line passes through (4,5)

Substituting the values in the equation:

[tex]\[5=-2*(4)+c\][/tex]

=> [tex]\[c=5+8=13\][/tex]

So the overall equation of the parallel line is given by [tex]\[y=-2x+13\][/tex]
