I know for sure that A isn't the correct answer, but that's it. I don't even know where to start.

anonymous · Answer

you first solve for y and then find the one with the same slope.

anonymous · Answer

i dont think A is the choice

anonymous · Answer

How would you solve for y if there is another variable in the same equation?

anonymous · Answer

this is for the slope intercept formula. it is suppose to be in y=mx+b form

anonymous · Answer

So, as long as the slope is the same, then the lines are parralel?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

Alright, thanks! So, real quick, just to clarify, the answer would be B ?

anonymous · Answer

yes
