2. Write the slope-intercept form of the equation for each graph described. Line passing through (-5, 12) and parallel to the line whose equation is y = 2x + 5. Y =​

  y = 2x+22

========================================================

Explanation:

The equation y = 2x+5 is in the form y = mx+b

m = 2 = slope

b = 5 = y intercept

Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. So the answer will be in the form y = 2x+c, where b and c are different numbers. Since b = 5, this means c must be some other number. If c = 5, then we'd have the exact same line.

Let's plug in (x,y) = (-5,12), along with the slope m = 2, and solve for c

y = mx+c

12 = 2(-5)+c

12 = -10+c

12+10 = c

22 = c

c = 22

Since m = 2 and c = 22, we go from y = mx+c to y = 2x+22

The equation of the parallel line is y = 2x+22

The graph is below.
