Question

Graph a line with a slope of 2 that goes through the point (4,8).To graph a line, plot two points on the line.

Answer 1

Line 1 is parallel to Line 2

Explanation:

The slope can be calculated as follows:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

The slope of Line 1 m:

`m_1=(2-8)/(8-(-4))=(-6)/(8+4)=(-6)/(12)=-(1)/(2)`

The slope of line 2 m:

`m_2=(-2-6)/(8-(-8))=(-8)/(8+8)=-(8)/(16)=-(1)/(2)`

The slopes are equal which means that the lines are parallel
