Answer:
[tex]y = 2x - 6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Equation: [tex]y = 2x - 6[/tex]
Required
Determine the equation of Point: (5,4)
First, we need to determine the slope of [tex]y = 2x - 6[/tex]
The general form of an equation is [tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
Where m represents the slope;
Hence; [tex]m =2[/tex]
Since the equation and the point are parallel. then they have the same slope (m).
[tex]m = 2[/tex]
Next, is to determine the equation of the point, using the following formula:
[tex]m = \frac{y - y_1}{x - x_1}[/tex]
Where
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (5,4)[/tex]
So, the equation becomes
[tex]2 = \frac{y - 4}{x - 5}[/tex]
Cross Multiply
[tex]y - 4 = 2(x - 5)[/tex]
Open Bracket
[tex]y - 4 = 2x - 10[/tex]
Make y the subject of formula
[tex]y = 2x - 10 + 4[/tex]
[tex]y = 2x - 6[/tex]
Hence, the equation is [tex]y = 2x - 6[/tex]
