Find the equation of the line which passes through (-4, 3) and parallel to line y = 2x + 5.
-
A.
y = 2x + 11 -
B.
y = 3x + 11 -
B.
y = 3x – 5 -
C.
y = 2x – 11
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
The gradient of the line y = 2x + 5 ;
(frac{mathrm d y}{mathrm d x} = 2)
(frac{y – 3}{x – (-4)} = frac{y-3}{x+4} = 2)
(y – 3 = 2(x + 4) implies y = 2x + 11)
