Which equation represents a line parallel to the line shown on the graph?


On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (0, 8) and (2, 0).

y = 4 x minus 1

y = negative 4 x + three

y = one-fourth x + 5

y = negative one-fourth x minus 1

Answer:

y = -4x +3

Explanation:

The given line has a "rise" of -8 for a "run" of 2, so its slope is ...

m = rise/run = -8/2 = -4

A parallel line will have the same slope, so you want to choose the equation that has an x-coefficient of -4. That equation is ...

y = -4x +3 . . . . the second choice
