Question

A line is parallel to y = 1/4 x + 3 and passes through (-8,0).

Which is the equation of the line?
A. y=1/4x+2
B. y=1/4x-8
C. y=-4x+2
D. y=-4x

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

the answer is A

Parallel lines have the same slope for which the new equation of the new lines starts as

`y = (1)/(4) x + b`
then you plug in the coordinate given to find b or the y intercept as the slope formula is

`y = mx + b`

`0 = (1)/(4) (8) + b`
you solve for b and end up with

`2 = b`
now with all your information your solution is

`y = (1)/(4) x + 2`
