The given line is
.
Above line is slope - intercept form
.
So, given line has a slope of(
) = 3.
So, a line parallel to it has a slope of
.
Because you know the slope and a point on the line,
\Use point - slope form
to write an equation of the line.
Let
=
and slope(
) = 3.
(Substitute 8 for
, 2 for
and
= 3)
Rewrite in slope - intercept form
.
(Apply distributive property:
)
(Multiply:
)
Apply addition property of equality: If a = b then a + c = b + c.
\
(Add 8 to each side)
(Apply additive inverse property:
)
(Apply additive identity property:
)
(Add:
)
Check:
\To check the solution substitute
=
in
.

(Multiply:
)
(Add:
)
The equation satisfies the condition.
\So,The equation of the line is
.
The equation of the line is
.
