Understanding Slope and Intercepts

The video tutorial explains how to write an equation for a line parallel to a given line using the slope-intercept form. It emphasizes that parallel lines have the same slope and demonstrates how to find the new y-intercept by substituting a given point into the equation. The tutorial concludes by deriving the equation of the parallel line and ensuring it passes through the specified point.

What is the initial equation given in the tutorial?

• y = 2x + 3

• y = 3x + 2

• y = x + 3
