What is equation of a line that is parallel to the line y=5x+8 and passes through the point (1,-3)

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation of the parallel line we must first find the slope of the original line.

From the question , the original line is

y = 5x + 8

Comparing with the general equation above

Slope / m = 5

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

Slope of parallel line = 5

Equation of the line using point (1,-3) and slope 5 is

We have the final answer as
