Which of the following lines is not parallel to the graph of y=4x+7. y-4x=9 4x-y=8 . 4y-x=8 8x-2y=8

y = 4x + 7

This equation is in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope of this line is 4. Parallel lines have the same slope, thus a line not parallel to this line will not have a slope of 4. Let's check which of these lines does not have a slope of 4.

y - 4x = 9

y = 9 + 4x (add 4x to both sides)

y = 4x + 9 (switch the constant and x-term)

This line has a slope of 4.

4x - y = 8

-y = 8 - 4x (subtract 4x from both sides)

y = -8 + 4x (divide both sides by -1)

y = 4x - 8 (switch the constant and x-term)

This line has a slope of 4.

4y - x = 8

4y = 8 + x (add x to both sides)

y = 8/4 + x/4 (divide both sides by 4)

y = x/4 + 2 (simplify and switch constant and x-term)

This line has a slope of 1/4. It is thus not parallel to the line y = 4x + 7.

4y - x = 8

answer: b.

step-by-step explanation:

the y coordinate for point b is 0, and answer b is the only one with that y coordinate.
