Question

Which of the following is an equation of a line parallel to the equationy = 4x+1?O A. y = x-2y =X-24B. y = -4x-2O c. y = 4x - 2y -2O D. y=-x-2-24SRM

Answer 1

Answer

C. y = 4x - 2

Explanation

Two equations of lines are said to be parallel if m₁ = m₂

m₁ is the slope of the given equation and m₂ is the slope second equation.

From the given equation,

y = 4x + 1

m₁ = 4

From the options, the only equation which is parallel to the given equation is

y = 4x - 2 because it slope, i.e m₂ = 4

The correct answer is Option C. y = 4x - 2
