Answer

C. y = 4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation

Two equations of lines are said to be parallel if m₁ = m₂

m₁ is the slope of the given equation and m₂ is the slope second equation.

From the given equation,

y = 4x + 1

m₁ = 4

From the options, the only equation which is parallel to the given equation is

y = 4x - 2 because it slope, i.e m₂ = 4

The correct answer is Option C. y = 4x - 2
