Question

Which of the linear equations are parallel to the following linear equation?
y = -1/2x +4

Answer 1

Explanation:

`y=-(1)/(2)x+4`

An equation that is parallel to this line is ANY line that has the same slope that does not have the same y intercept. This means that the y intercept can be any number besides 4 for it to be parallel.

Examples:

`y=-(1)/(2)-2`

`y=-(1)/(2)+400`

`y=-(1)/(2)+7`
