Determine the equation of the graph, and select the correct answer below. courtesy of texas instruments y = (x + 4)^2 + 1 y = (x + 4)^2 − 1 y = (x − 4)^2 + 1 y = (x − 4)^2 − 1

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. : )
