Example Question #1:

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following is the equation of a line that is parallel to the line 4x – y = 22 and passes through the origin?

Possible Answers:

4x – y = 0

(1/4)x + y = 0

4x + 8y = 0

4x = 8y

y – 4x = 22

Correct answer:

4x – y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by rearranging the equation into the form y = mx + b (where m is the slope and b is the y intercept); y = 4x – 22

Now we know the slope is 4 and so the equation we are looking for must have the m = 4 because the lines are parallel. We are also told that the equation must pass through the origin; this means that b = 0.

In 4x – y = 0 we can rearrange to get y = 4x. This fulfills both requirements.
