Choose the equation that is parallel to the line given
8x - y = 7
A) y = -8x - 4
B) y = 1/8x + 5
C) y = -1/8x - 13
D) y = 8x + 12

Question

Choose the equation that is parallel to the line given 8x - y = 7 A) y = -8x - 4 B) y = 1/8x + 5 C) y = -1/8x - 13 D) y = 8x + 12

SnapAndSolve AI · Accepted Answer

The equation of a line parallel to another line has the same slope. The given line is 8x - y = 7, which can be rewritten in slope-intercept form as y = 8x - 7. The slope is 8.

A) y = -8x - 4 (Slope = -8)
B) y = 1/8x + 5 (Slope = 1/8)
C) y = -1/8x - 13 (Slope = -1/8)
D) y = 8x + 12 (Slope = 8)

The correct answer is D) y = 8x + 12 because it has the same slope as the given line.
