Question

2 Which of the following is the equation of the straight line with slope of 2 and with the same y-

intercept as that of the line represented by the equation y = 4x - 2?
F
1
y = 2x +
G
1
y = 4x -
2
Hy = 4x + 2
Jy = 2x - 2

Answer 1

y = 2x-2

Explanation:

Generally, we have the equation of a straight line as;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

For the second equation, we can see that the y-intercept value is -2

So using the slope 2, we write the complete equation as;

y = 2x - 2
