SOLUTION: Write an equation for the line that passes through (0,5) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x-y=3. a. y=-1/4x +5 b. y=4x-3 c. y=1/4x +5 d. y=4x+5 I'm not sure

Question 378275: Write an equation for the line that passes through (0,5) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x-y=3.
a. y=-1/4x +5
b. y=4x-3
c. y=1/4x +5
d. y=4x+5
I'm not sure which answer choice to choose, help? thanks!

Hi,

Making the choice after determining the equation for the New line.

4x-y=3  solving for y and putting into the slope-intercept form y = mx + b

y = 4x - 3  m = 4

Parallel lines have identical slopes. New Line:

y = 4x + b  Using ordered pair p(0,5)  to solve for b

5 = 4*0 + b

5 = b

y = 4x + 5

Answer d. would be the correct choice
