Question

give the equation of the line that passes through (0, -3) and is parallel to 2x+4=8

Answer 1

Since we are given 2x + 4 = 8, we know that x = 2, so we want to be parallel to x = 2.

We can only be parallel to x = 2 if x = some other constant. Since we are give that the line passes through (0, -3), then the line must be x = 0.
