Two lines that are parallel have the same slope. In its slope-intersect form, we can write the equation of a line with slope m and y-intercept b as:
Step 1
Write the given equation in slope-intercept form and identify its slope m.
Thus:
Step 2
Find the equation with the same slope m = -2. We need to identify which of them has -2 multiplying the variable x.
Answer
From the given options, the only one with the same slope m = -2, therefore parallel to the given line, is:
