Identify the graphed linear equation. a) y = 5x + 2 b) y = 5x - 2 c) y = -5x + 2 d) y = -5x - 2

The y-intercept is -2, which gives you the b of the slope-intercept form (y=mx + b). This would rule out choices A and C. It rises 5 and goes to the left 1 in the negative direction. This gives you the m part (rise/run). This would give you the answer of:

D) y = -5x - 2

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
