Question

A line has the equation 4x - 13 = 2y. Write an equation of a line parallel to
this given line that has a y-intercept of 1.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 13 = 2y

y = (4x-13)/2

y = 2x - 13/2

The new equation will have the same slope (m = 2), as the lines are parallel

y = 2x + b

b represents the y-intercept, so b = 1

y = 2x + 1

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 13 = 2y

y = (4x-13)/2

y = 2x - 13/2

The new equation will have the same slope (m = 2), as the lines are parallel

y = 2x + b

b represents the y-intercept, so b = 1

y = 2x + 1
