Parallel Line Equation
1. The problem asks to find the equation of line B, which passes through point P and is parallel to line A.
2. First, determine the slope of line A. It passes through (0,0) and (1,2).
3. Calculate the slope $m$ of line A using the formula:
$$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{2 - 0}{1 - 0} = 2$$
4. Since line B is parallel to line A, its slope is the same, $m = 2$.
5. Line B passes through point P, which is approximately at (1,6).
6. Use the point-slope form to find the equation of line B:
$$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$$
Substitute $m=2$, $x_1=1$, and $y_1=6$:
$$y - 6 = 2(x - 1)$$
7. Simplify to slope-intercept form $y = mx + c$:
$$y - 6 = 2x - 2$$
$$y = 2x - 2 + 6$$
$$y = 2x + 4$$
Final answer:
$$\boxed{y = 2x + 4}$$
