Question

Which line is parallel to y = -4x + 8?

y = -4x + 3

y = 4x − 3

y = 5x − 11

y = 2x − 3

Answer 1

Parallel lines must have the same slope. Do you know how to "decipher" slope-intercept form?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

Okay, I'll teach you :) It's very simple, this is slope intercept form: \(\color{red}y = \color{blue}m x + \color{green}b\)
\(\color{red}y\\\color{blue}m\\\color{green}b\)

^ Those are the main things we need to focus on
\(\color{blue}m \) is the slope of the line
\(\color{green}b\) is the y intercept.

Answer 4

For lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope, or \(\color{blue}m\) value

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

What is the slope of y = -4x + 8?

Answer 7

I think i know what the answer is

Answer 8

What do you think? :)

Answer 9

i think the answer is A

Answer 10

Yes! The original equation and option A both have the same slope, -4

Answer 11

yay!
