We can't find explicit values for and
, since there is only one equation, but two variables.
The best we can do is solve for one variable with respect to the other:
Solve for :
subtract from both sides:
divide both sides by :
Solve for :
subtract from both sides:
divide both sides by :
Answer:
D. y = 2x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, find the slope of the given line. Place it in slope-intercept form to identify its slope easily. Isolate the y in the equation:
A line placed in slope-intercept form is represented by the formula . The
, or the coefficient of the x-term, represents the slope. Thus, the slope of this line is 2.
2) Lines that are parallel share the same slope. So, the slope of the parallel line will have 2 as its slope as well.
We now have enough information to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. From there, we can convert it to slope-intercept form and find out which option is correct.
Use the point-slope formula and substitute values for
,
, and
. Since
represents the slope of the line, substitute 2 in its place. Since
and
represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects, substitute the x and y values of (4,6) into the formula as well. Then, with the resulting equation, isolate y like before to find which option is correct:
So, option D is correct.
