To determine if a line is parallel to another, we need to find the slope of the given linear equation, since the parallel line is going to have the same slope.
The slope of a line m can be determined by first puting the linear equation into the slope-intercept form, which is
y = mx + b.
Given the equation as
y = 2x + 4, the slope is 2
However to solve for b, we can start by substituting for the values of y and x which are given as the coordinates of the point through which the line passes.
The given equation is;
The line parallel to y = 2x + 4 is derived as
y = 2x + 11
