Find the Parallel Line (2,5) y=x+6

$(2, 5)$ $y = x + 6$

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $1$ .

$m = 1$

To find an equation that is parallel, the slopes must be equal. Find the parallel line using the point-slope formula.

Use the slope $1$ and a given point $(2, 5)$ to substitute for $x_{1}$ and $y_{1}$ in the point-slope form $y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1})$ , which is derived from the slope equation $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ .

$y - (5) = 1 \cdot (x - (2))$

Simplify the equation and keep it in point-slope form.

$y - 5 = 1 \cdot (x - 2)$

Solve for $y$ .

Multiply $x - 2$ by $1$ .

$y - 5 = x - 2$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $5$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = x - 2 + 5$

Add $- 2$ and $5$ .

$y = x + 3$
