Question

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Hey can someone tell me simply HOW to come to this conclusion? im a bit confiused as to how, dont want to cheat i want to learn. (P.S ive missed multiple grades which has left me with alot of gaps to fill.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B, x + 2y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines are parallel, their gradients are equal i.e M1 = M2

(Note: When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their gradients is equal to - 1 i.e M1M2 = -1)

Gradient of a line = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Using coordinates (-4,0) and (4,-4)

Gradient of the line = (-4-0)/[4-(-4)]

= -4/4+4

= -4/8

= -1/2

Therefore gradient of the parallel line is -1/2

Equation of a line using slope intercept form

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

The parallel line passes through point (2,3)

y - 3 = -1/2 ( x - 2)

2(y - 3) = -1(x - 2)

2y - 6 = -x + 2

2y + x = 8

I hope this helps you to learn....
