Question

The graph of which equation has the same slope as the graph of y = 4x + 2

A. y = -2x + 3
B. y = 2x - 3
C. y = -4x + 2
D. y = 4x - 2


Please include a detailed explanation thank you

Answer 1

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The slope of y=4x+2 is 4.

Let's look at the choices:

A) The slope of y=-2x+3 is -2.

B) The slope of y=2x-3 is 2.

C) The slope of y=-4x+2 is -4.

D) The slope of y=4x-2 is 4.

So we are looking for a line that has the same slope as the given line which is 4.

The answer is D.

Answer 2

Answer:

D.

Y = mx + b is the equation for a straight line. "B" is called the y intercept. "M" is the value of the slope of the line. "X" is the value where the line intercepts the x axis.

so the reason the awnser is D is because the M=4 in both equations, meaning that they have the same slope
