Line HJ is parallel to a line that has a slope of 3 and a y-int at (0,0). If you wrote this in slope intercept form, it is y=3x+0. The only line that has such a slope is the  red one.

Answer:

line HJ

Explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line that has a slope of
3 and a y-intercept at
(0, 0) is equal to


y=3x -----> is a proportional relationship

Remember that

If two lines are parallel , then their slopes are the same

Find the slope of the line HJ


H(-1,-4), J(1,2)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to


m=(2+4)/(1+1)


m=(6)/(2)


m=3

therefore

The line HJ is parallel to the line
y=3x
