Line AB has an equation of a line y =5x − 2. Which of the following could be an equation for a line that is parallel to line AB?

Question

anonymous · Answer

y = 5x + 3
 y = 1 over 5x + 3
 y = −5x + 3
 y = −1 over 5x + 3

anonymous · Answer

is it a because its following the y=mx+b format?

mrnood · Answer

in the y=mx+b format the 'm' tells oyu the slope

parallel lines have the SAME slope (the 'b' value does not affect whether they are parallel)

So look at all the answers and find one that has the same value for m as y =5x − 2

anonymous · Answer

is it c?

mrnood · Answer

the original equation is 
y =5x − 2

c is
y = -5x +3

in the format y = mx+b do they have the SAME value for m?

anonymous · Answer

im so confused

mrnood · Answer

with what?

anonymous · Answer

with like the format

anonymous · Answer

cause you said find the one that has the same value and none of them do

mrnood · Answer

look at the original equation

y =5x − 2

now look at
the format
y = mx + b

what is the value of m in the original equation??

what is the value for b in the original equation?
