Question

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 8, 4) and (8, 4). A point is at (negative 4, negative 6).
What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (−4,−6 )?

x = −6
x = −4
y = −6
y = −4

Answer 1

y = −6

The original line is horizontal (y = 4), so a parallel line through (−4, −6) is also horizontal with equation y = −6.
