Question

Which of the following in NOT an equation of a line parallel to the line with equation y=1/2x-6 *

y = 2/4x + 6
y = 0.5x - 3
y = 1/2x + 1
y = 2x - 4

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

y = 2x - 4

Explanation:

You want an equation with an x-coefficient that is not 1/2.

2/4 = 0.5 = 1/2

so, the first three answer choices don't meet problem requirements.

The line with equation ...

y = 2x -4

is not parallel to y = 1/2x -6.
