Question

The equation of line CD is y = -2x - 2. Write an equation of a line parallel to line CD in slope-intercept form that contains point (4, 5). y=-2x+13. y=-1/2 x + 7. y=-1/2x+3. y=2x-3.

Answer 1

Parallel lines are a set of lines in a plane that extend infinitely but never meet or intersect at any point. Parallel lines have the same distance apart. They are characterized by having the same slopes. However, their y-intercepts are different. The correct answer is the first option because it is the only equation which has the same slope with the first equation.
