Answer:

Y= 10x-24 would be parralel to y=10x+6

Explanation:

well a parralel line has to have the same slope and a different y-intercept.

To find the y-intercept the x has to be exactly 0.

So we have (2,-4)

The slope is 10/1 which is 10y and 1 x which in an ordered park would be Add 1 x and add 10 y. But we’re trying to get x to be 0 to find the y-intercept.

So subtract 1 x and subtract 10y

2-1=1

-4-10=-14

(1, -14)

1-1=0

-14-10=-24

(0, -24)

THe y-intercept is -24 and w have the slope since its the same thing So

y=10x-24 is the equation
