Any help would be greatly appreciated, thankyou!

The graph of which of the following equations is a straight line parallel to the graph of y=2x?
\n" ); document.write( "slope = 2
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "A. 4x - y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4x-4
\n" ); document.write( "slope = 4
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "B. 2x -2y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 2x -2
\n" ); document.write( "y = x -1
\n" ); document.write( "slope = 1
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "C. 2x - y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x - 4
\n" ); document.write( "slope = 2
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "D. 2x + y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "slope = -2
\n" ); document.write( "====================
\n" ); document.write( "E. x - 2y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "2y = x - 4
\n" ); document.write( "y = (1/2)x - 2
\n" ); document.write( "slope = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "=============
\n" ); document.write( "Cheers,

\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Note: slope is the amount y increases or decreases when x increases by 1.
