Example Question #4051 : Algebra 1

Find a line parallel to the line that has the equation:

$y=-\frac{12}{7}x-2$

Possible Answers:

$y=\frac{12}{7}x+12$

$y=-\frac{12}{7}x-12$

$y=\frac{7}{12}x-2$

y=7x-14

Correct answer:

$y=-\frac{12}{7}x-12$

Explanation:

Lines can be written using the slope-intercept equation format:

y=mx+b

Lines that are parallel have the same slope.

The given line has a slope of:

$m=-\frac{12}{7}$

Only one of the choices also has the same slope and is the correct answer:

$y=-\frac{12}{7}x-12$
