Can someone tell me the answer to this question

If these two lines are parallel, they would have the same gradient.

Since Gradient = Rise / Run,

8 / -12 : -4 / 1

These two ratios are obviously not the same, so we can conclude the lines are not parallel.

2 is the final ! : )

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
