Question

Two lines are parallel. The first line passes through (6, 1), and its y-intercept is (0, –11). Which of the following cannot be the equation of the second line? A. y = 2x + 7 B. 2x + y = 6 C. 4x – 2y = 2 D. 6x = 3y – 2

Answer 1

C. Because the equation for the first line would be best represented by 2x-11. And since parallel lines must share the same slope but differ in the Y intercept, C can only be the correct response since it's slope is different.
