y=
x+ 12
-108 6 -4 -22

8
10 12 14 X
(12-2)
y= 5x-10
(0, -4
y = 5x - 12

Answer 1

Any option that shares the same slope as the given line will be parallel to that line.

Explanation:

I don't understand how your answers are laid out, so I can't give you the exact answer. But Slope-intercept form is y = mx +b, so any equation sharing the same slope (m), will be correct/parallel.

for example, if the given line is

y = 5x - 12

then the line

y = 5x + 23

will be parallel to y = 5x - 12.

The shared slope in this example is 5.
