which is an equation of the line that is parallel to y = 2x - 8 and passes through the point (0,-3) ?

which is an equation of the line that is parallel to y = 2x - 8 and passes through the point (0,-3) ?

a) y = 2x + 3    b) y = 2x - 3    c) y = -1/2x + 3    d) y = -1/2x - 3

Well if it is parallel then it will have the same gradient   m=2

so it has to be a or b

sub in (0,-3) and see if it makes the equation true.

a) -3=2*0+3    not true

b) -3=2*0-3     true

so the answer is b

Complete the equation for a line that passes through the point (0, 3) and is parallel to y=2x+2
