The equation of line AB is y = 2x + 4. Write an equation of a line parallel to line AB in slope-intercept form that contains point (3, -2).

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

A)\[y=\frac{ -1 }{ 2 }x-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\] B)\[y=-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x-\frac{ 7 }{ 2 }\] C)y = 2x + 4 D)y = 2x - 8

Parallel is a line that has a different y-intercept. It will keep the same slope since the line parallel. (Parallel means exact lines that aren't touching. So which equation keeps everything but changes the y-intercept?

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

A?

OpenStudy (clongoria2):

Do you know how to identify slope and y-intercept?

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

Yes

OpenStudy (yolo_king):

(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

OpenStudy (clongoria2):

Y = mx + b y = 2x + 4 Mx B With that being said. Change the y-intercept = (slope) (y-intercept) So you can eliminate a and b as it changes the slope which is not a parallel line. C is the same equation, so that is not parallel. That leaves?

D o-o

OpenStudy (clongoria2):

Yes XD

C: thx bro
