Question

Choose the equation that would produce a parallel line to y = 2x + 4.

a) y = -2x + 4
b) y = 1/2x + 5
c) y = 2x - 2
d) y = 2x + 4

Answer 1

To find a parallel line to y = 2x + 4, choose the equation with the same slope, which is y = 2x + 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a line parallel to y = 2x + 4, we need to find an equation with the same slope. The slope-intercept form of the equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The slope of the given equation is 2. So any equation with a slope of 2 will be parallel to it.

Among the given options, the equation y = 2x + 4 has the same slope as the original equation and is therefore parallel to it.
