I'm not sure which answer choice to choose, help? thanks! Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
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
