Cahsee Math 4.4 Algebra I by Shmoop

SHMOOP… here it is… The graph of the line y equals 1/12x minus 12 is parallel to line I. Which one of the following could be an equation for line I? And here are the potential answers… So… what is this question asking? Do we really know the innards of y equals mx plus b? Well this equation is already written in y equals mx plus b form and we know that parallel lines all have the same slope. The slope in this case is circled here – it’s one twelfth. So we just have to look for a line that has 1/12th in the “m” area… Well… B would get us there, but it’s written as NEGATIVE so our response to that option is… negative as well. The answer is D. As in, “Dinner.”
