Question

Which lines are parallel to 8x + 4y = 5? Select all that apply.

A. y = –2x + 10
B. 16x + 8y = 7
C. y = –2x
D. y – 1 = 2(x + 2)

Answer 1

Options A, B, C are all correct

Answer 2

A , B , C

Explanation:

1) find the slope of the given line

slope = (-a/b) = (-8/4) = -2

B : (-a/b) = -16/8 = -2 (correct)

C : correct

D : wrong (2 is different from -2)
