anonymous · Answer

You know the equation of a line correct?
Y=mx+b
So if a line is to be parallel, the slope, which is 'm', needs to be the same. Your answers will either be 'A' or 'B'.
You have a point, which tells you 'x' and 'y'. Plug those values into those equations. When you have the same number on the left and right side, you will have found your answer.
