Question

A line has the points (2,4) and (7, 8). Which equation is parallel to this line?

A. y= 4/5x+ 10
B. y= x-2
C. y= 5/4x +2
D. y= -5/4x -10
With evidence please

Answer 1

Answer: The answer should be A.

Step-by-step explanation: Remember the formula for slope, m=
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )`, using the coordinates you will find that the slope of this line is 4/5. Now we know that parallel lines always have the same slope with different y-intercepts or b values. Therefore, A is your answer.
