Question

Write the equation for a line Parallel to this one.

y = 3x + 2
a
y = 3x + 2
y = 3x + 7
ос
y = (1/3)x + 7
Od
y = -(1/3)x + 3

Answer 1

actually, a and b are correct, as any line is also parallel to itself (a).

b is probably the truly wanted answer, as this line is on a chart visible as a second line and parallel to the first one.

Explanation:

the factor of x is also the slope of the line.

for a line to be parallel to another, both need to have the same slope.

the constant number in the equation is the offset of the line from point (0,0) in y direction.

so, b is a parallel line 4 units above the first line.
