Question 971918: 1.The equation of a straight line is y=6x-4
a) Find the equation of a line, parallel to this, that passes through the origin (0,0)
b)Find the equation of a line, parallel to this, that passes through the origin (0,8)

The slopes of parallel lines are equal. The y-intercept gives b.
y=6x is parallel to y=6x-4 and goes through the origin, for when x=0, y=0 and therefore b=0
y-6x+8 is the other
