Amy is helping plan her school's new basketball court. The west edge of the basketball court is located on the line y = 5x + 2. The east edge cannot intersect with the west edge. On which line could the east edge be located?

−y − 5x = 100
y + 5x = 100
−5x − y = 50
5x − y = 50

The east edge will need to be parallel to the west end which means the slope must be the same

When you put each line into the slope intercept form you will find:

y= -5x-100
y=-5x+100
y=-5x-50
y=5x-50

The line for the east edge will be. y=5x-50
