Writing Equations of Parallel Lines in Point-Slope Form

What is the first step in finding a parallel line?

• Graph the initial line

• Identify the y-intercept

• Find the slope of the initial line

• Determine the x-intercept

Where is the y-intercept of the initial line located?

• At 0

• At 4

• At 2

• At 3

What is the slope of the initial line?

• 3/4

• 2/3

• 1/3

• 1/2

What must be true about the slopes of parallel lines?

• They must be different

• They must be the same

• They must be negative

• They must be positive

Through which point must the new parallel line pass?

• (3, 4)

• (2, 1)

• (1, 2)

• (0, 0)

What form is used to find the equation of the parallel line?

• Point-slope form

• Standard form

• Slope-intercept form

• Quadratic form

What is the equation of the parallel line before simplification?

• y - 2 = 1/2(x - 1)

• y - 2 = 1/3(x - 1)

• y - 1 = 1/3(x - 2)

• y - 1 = 1/2(x - 2)

How do you add a fraction to a whole number?

• Multiply the fraction by the whole number

• Convert the whole number to a fraction

• Subtract the whole number from the fraction

• Add them directly

What is the y-intercept of the final equation?

• 5/3

• 2/3

• 1/3

• 4/3

What is the final equation of the parallel line?

• y = 1/2x + 2/3

• y = 1/3x + 5/3

• y = 1/3x + 2/3

• y = 1/2x + 5/3
