Question

Write an equation that is parallel to the line 4x - y = 2 and passes through the point

(-2, 3). A) y = 4x + 3 B) y = 4x + 11 C) y = -4x + 11 D) y = - 1 4 x + 3

Answer 1

b

Explanation:

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope. To find the slope of the current line, convert 4x - y = 2 into y = mx+b form.

4x - y = 2

- y = 2 - 4x

y = 4x - 2

The slope is 4. Use the point slope form with m=4 and (-2,3) to write the line.

y-3 = 4 (x --2)

y-3 = 4 (x+2)

y - 3 = 4x + 8

y = 4x + 11
