----------------------------------------------------------- Find Slope : ----------------------------------------------------------- y = 4x + 2 Slope = 4 Slope of the Parallel line = 4
----------------------------------------------------------- Substitute slope = 4 : ----------------------------------------------------------- y = mx + b y = 4x +b
----------------------------------------------------------- Find y-intercept : ----------------------------------------------------------- y = 4x + b At point (8, 4), x = 8 when y = 4 4 = 4(8) + b 4 + 32 + b b = 4 - 32 b = -28
----------------------------------------------------------- Substitute y-intercept into the equation : ----------------------------------------------------------- y = 4x - 28
----------------------------------------------------------- Answer : y = 4x - 28 (Answer A) -----------------------------------------------------------
