The answer is A, first the question said parallel so it should have same gradient and the gradient of the equation is 2 So eliminate D and bring (3,1) in each of the last three equation, and you will find just A conformed
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Open
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
An open equation is an equation that has variables and CAN be solved
<u>Example</u>: 2x = 4 ......> can be solved giving ......> x = 2
A false equation is one where both sides can NEVER be equal
<u>Example:</u> 15 = 2(3) + 1 ..........> 15 can never be equal to 7
A true equation is one having no variables and both sides are ALWAYS equal
<u>Example:</u> 2(3) + 1 = 2(2) + 3 ........> 7 will always be equal to 7
Now, the given equation is:
4y + 8 = 6y + 3
Let's try to solve is:
4y + 8 = 6y + 3
6y - 4y = 8 - 3
2y = 5
y = 2.5
Therefore, the given equation contains a variable and can be solved which means that it is an open equation
Hope this helps :)
Narrowing it down it's either a or c because the other 2 choices open downward (negative a).
Graphing the 2 parabolas choice c is narrower.
c
(3,-8)
You move down from those coordinates
X stays the same while it just moves down only Y changes
