You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Parallel to y= 2x + 1 & through(0,4)
y=2x+1 has a slope=2. (red line)
Thus any parallel line will also have a slope=2.
Y=mX+b where m=the slope & b= the Y intercept.
4=2*0+b
4=b ans. for the Y intercept.
Y=2x+4 is the parallel line equation that passes through (0,4) (green line).
