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

y = x + 8 has a slope of 1

Answer 2

So any parallel line also has a slope of 1

Answer 3

y = mx+b

y = 1x+b

10 = 1(4) + b

10 = 4 + b

Now solve for b

Answer 4

@jim_thompson5910 - B= 6

Answer 5

so the equation is

y = 1x + 6

or just

y = x+6

Answer 6

@jim_thompson5910 Do you see a difference between B and D

Answer 7

no, B and D look the same...hmm

Answer 8

typo maybe? or maybe something is missing

Answer 9
