Example Question #34 : How To Find Out If Lines Are Parallel

Which of the following are parallel to the line y=3x ?

Possible Answers:

4y-160=4x

3y=3x+144

2y+3x=46

2y-128=6x

2x=3y+56

Correct answer:

2y-128=6x

Explanation:

Two lines are parallel when they have the same slope. We can determine the slope of a line in the form y=mx+b by identifying , the coefficient of x.

In this case, a line will be parallel to y=3x if and only if the coefficient of x is 3.

So we find:

2y-128=6x

2y=6x+128

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{6x+128}{2}$

$y={\color{Red} 3x}+64$
