Can some one help me with this please?

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?

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

mrnood · Answer

in the original equation it is of the form of the general equation for a straight line:
y=mx+b

the value of m in that equation is the slope of the line

If a line is parallel with it then it will have the SAME slope

So look at the answers and find which has the SAME value representing m as the original equaiton
