which equation is parallel to y= =3?

Question

a. y=3x+1

b. y=3

c. x=-3

d. y= 8

Answer 1

Student,

 

I assume there is a typo in the question, but the form of your given equation is

 

y = constant  [Did you mean to say y=3 or y=-3 ?]

 

This represents a horizontal line (i.e. slope of zero).  Any other line of slope zero is parallel to the given line.  That is, any line whose equation is of the form

 

y = constant

 

is parallel to your given line.  Both (b) and (d) satisfy this condition.

 

 

 

 

Answer 2

y = 8
