| Topic | Straight Lines & Coordinate Geometry |
| Type | Parallel line through point |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.2 This is a straightforward application of the parallel lines property (same gradient) requiring only substitution into y = mx + c. It's a single-step problem with no conceptual challenge beyond basic recall, making it easier than average for A-level. |
| Spec | 1.03a Straight lines: equation forms y=mx+c, ax+by+c=01.03b Straight lines: parallel and perpendicular relationships |
1 Find the equation of the line which is parallel to $y = 5 x - 4$ and which passes through the point (2, 13). Give your answer in the form $y = a x + b$.
