Question

Write an equation that is parallel to the following equation.
y = -1/5x + 8

Answer 1

y=-1/5x

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, so you can write plus or minus any number of the slope and it will be parallel.

for example:

y=-1/5x+2 is parallel as well as the one above.

Answer 2

y= -1/5x + 3

Explanation:

if you want a parallel line, just changed the b in y=mx+b
