Responses

y=1/2x−3
y equals Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction x minus 3

y=2x−7
y equals 2 x minus 7

y=−2x+2
y equals negative 2 x plus 2

y=−1/2x+4
y equals negative Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction x plus 4

Answer 1

Lines that are parallel have the same slope. The equation given is \( y = 2x + 4 \), which has a slope of 2. Therefore, any line parallel to this line must also have a slope of 2.

Among the options provided, the equation that has a slope of 2 is:

**y = 2x - 7**

So, the correct response is \( y = 2x - 7 \).
