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).
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?
A?
Do you know how to identify slope and y-intercept?
Yes
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
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
Yes XD
C: thx bro
