Find the equation of the line that passes through (2, 4) and is parallel to the line y = 3x – 8.

y=3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation that is parallel to the given line, we know that the slope will be the same. The slope MUST be the same because if the slope is different, the lines will touch at one point. Parallel lines NEVER touch or cross, therefore, the slope is the same.

y=3x+b

To figure out the line, we use the given point and plug that into x and y.

4=3(2)+b                    [multiply]

4=6+b                         [subtract both sides by 6]

b=-2

Now that we know the y-intercept, we can complete the equation.

y=3x-2

sinn is the total amount of students now and m were the students before, you subtract them both (n-m) and divide that by m. then, since to get a percentage from a fraction you have to multiply by 100, your answer should look like this: n-m/m*100
