Question

Write the equation of the line parallel to y = 4 that passes through (-2, 7).

Answer 1

It is important to know that y = 4 is a horizontal line that passes through the points (0,4). So, a parallel line that passes through would be y = 7, because horizontal lines have the form y = k, where k is the y-intercept.

Hence, the answer is y = 7.
