Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(2, 1 ) and (-1, -8) are on the line AB

Find the slope of the line by substituting the given values in the slope formula:

m= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m= (-8 - 1 )/(-1 - 2)

m= 3

By Point slope form:

y - y1 = m ( x - x1)

y - 1 = 3 ( x - 2)

y = 3x - 5 This is the equation of the line AB.

The line parallel to y= 3x - 5 that pases through ( 0, 2 ).

Parallel lines have equal slope, so the slope for both lines is 3.

Now, we have:

Using point slope form ( 0, 2 )

y - 2 = 3 (x - 0)

y= 3x + 2

The equation of the line that is parallel to line AB is : y = 3x + 2.
