Which equation represents a line that is parallel to y=−54x+2

Answer 1

Hi Ashley,

you need to know: 1) when two lines are parallel

they have the same slope

now , you have only one line so the line that is parallel with y=−54x+2 must be

Y - -54 x + b

if you had another information such as a point you could find b but now you find a family lines that are parallel with the given line.

please check your question and let me know if you have any question.

Answer 2

Parallel lines have the same slope, so assuming that you have a list of multiple-choice answers, find the equation of the line with a slope of -54. That's because the line you are given is in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where the value of m is the slope, and the value of b is the y-intercept. Any standard form linear equation in the form Ax + By = C can be written in slope-intercept form. (A, B, and C are constants).
