Find the equation of a line that is parallel to y = 3x − 5 and passes through the point (1, 2).

Answer

The correct answer is B: y = 3x − 1. A line parallel to y = 3x − 5 has slope 3. Using point-slope form with (1,2): y − 2 = 3(x − 1) → y = 3x − 1.

  1. A.y = 3x − 2
  2. B.y = 3x − 1✓ Correct
  3. C.y = 3x + 2
  4. D.y = 3x + 1

Explanation

A line parallel to y = 3x − 5 has slope 3. Using point-slope form with (1,2): y − 2 = 3(x − 1) → y = 3x − 1.
