Question

which of the following represents an equation of a line parallel to one whise equation is 2y+8x=18?1) y = -4x-32) y =4x+73) y =8x-24) y= 8x+9

Answer 1

The given equation is

`2y+8x=18`

The slope of this line can be found by using the following formula

`m=-(A)/(B)`

Where A = 8 and B = 2.

`m=-(8)/(2)=-4`

So, the parallel line must have a slope of -4. Having said that, the correct answer is option 1 because it has a slope of -4.
