Question

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point. y = x + 8; (4, 10)
A. y = x

B. y = x + 6

C. y = x – 6

D. y = x + 6

Answer 1

The slope is the same so use the equation y = x + b
y = x + b
Now plug in the coordinate and solve for b.
10 = 4 + b
b = ?
y = x + ?
