For a line to be parallel to another, what 2 conditions must be met?

anonymous · Answer

The answer choices are...
y = 2x -7
y = -1/2x - 2
y = 2x - 2
y = - 1/2x -7

Since you're given the answers, all you really must to is know that the slopes MUST be the same, that is 2, in this case. From there, you can just plug in x=5 for the choices that have the slope equaling 2, and see if the result is 3. Do you wish tot know how to do this problem if the answers were not given?
