Question

The equation of line AB is y = 2x + 4. Write an equation of a line parallel to line AB in slope-intercept form that contains point (3, −2). A. y = 2x + 4 B. y = negative 1 over 2 , x − 1 over 2 C. y = − 1 over 2 , x − 7 over 2 D. y = 2x − 8

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

y = 2x + 4

comparing with the above equation for a line

The slope / m = 2

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

Slope of parallel line = 2

So we have

The equation of the line using point

( 3 , -2) and slope 2 is

y + 2 = 2( x - 3)

y + 2 = 2x - 6

y = 2x - 6 - 2

We have the final answer as

y = 2x - 8

Hope this helps you
