century?
A)

Rail service allowed people to visit their families across Europe.
Rail service provided many people across Europe with job
opportunities.
Rail service provided more efficient means to transport goods across
Europe.
D)

x = 12

y = 1

for the points!

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
