Question

Which is the equation of a line parallel to the line with the equation:
y = 1/4x + 2

Answer 1

y=1/4x-7

Explanation:

equations with the same slope are parallel no matter the y-intercept

Answer 2

I don't think it's specified but I can tell you the slop has to stay the same but the y-intercept ha

s to be a different number.

if over a certain point the all you have to do is plug the points into x and y and remove the y intercept. An example is what line is parallel to y=1/4x+2 and crosses point (4,2).

Then you first have to plug in x and y and remove the y intercept to find a new y intercept. 2=1/4(4)+B

Next is to put together common like terms. 2=1+B

Then subtract one because that's it's opposite leaving B=1

then you substitute or replace the old y intercept with the new one making the answer Y=1/4x+1

I hope this will help you.
