Answer

the graph of the line parallel to y = 2x + 4 is presented below

The line has the equation y = 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation

Any two parallel lines will have the same slopes.

The slope and y-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given as

y = mx + c

where

y = y-coordinate of a point on the line.

m = slope of the line.

x = x-coordinate of the point on the line whose y-coordinate is y.

c = y-intercept of the line.

So, for y = 2x + 4, the slope is evidently 2

So, any line that we will pick that will be prallel to the given line has to be of the form

y = 2x + c

c, the y-intercept, can then be any number. Let us use an example where c = 1

The equation of a line parallel to y = 2x + 4 is y = 2x + 1

To plot this, we would need to use the intercepts.

when x = 0,

y = 2x + 1

y = 2(0) + 1

y = 0 + 1 = 1

First point of the line is (0, 1)

when y = 0

y = 2x + 1

0 = 2x + 1

2x = -1

Divide both sides by 2

(2x/2) = (-1/2)

x = -0.5

Second point on the line is (-0.5, 0)

We can then plot the line on the coordinate using these two points (0, 1) and (-0.5, 0)

So, the graph of the line parallel to y = 2x + 4 is presented under 'Answer'

Hope this Helps!!!
