Answer:

y = 4x + 1

Explanation:

Given the equation y = 4x - 2, we need to find the equation parallel to this line. Note that for two equations to be parallel to each other, the must have the same slope

Standard form of an equation is y = mx + b

Compare;

mx = 4x

m = 4

Since the slope of the given equation is 4, the required equation must also have a slope of 4

Since we are not given an option, we can assume any equation with a slope of 4

y = 4x + 1 will be parallel to the given equation since they both have the same slope

Note that the equation can be different so far they have the slope of 4
