Question

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the
given line and passes through the given point?
y=-2
x = -2
y = -4
x = -4

Answer 1

Answer:

y = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the given line is horizontal and parallel to the x- axis with slope zero

Parallel lines have equal slopes

a parallel line will therefore be horizontal with equation

y = c ( c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through )

the line passes through (- 2, - 4 ) with y- coordinate - 4 , then

y = - 4 ← equation of parallel line
