Question

write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line whose equation is y = –4 and that passes through the point (1, 5). a. y=-5 b. y=-4 c. y=1 d. y=5

Answer 1

The answer is d. Y=5. Since y=-4 has a slope of 0, the y value is always the same. If the line is parralel to y=-4, then the y value has to stay the same, so the equation is y=5.
