Write an equation of the line that is parallel to 2x + 4y = 6 and passes through the point (6, 4).
a) y = 2x + 4
b) y = 2x - 8
c) y = -2x + 16
d) y = -12x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a completely valid trick for finding the equation of this new line:

Start with the given  2x + 4y = 6.  Replace that '6' with 'C.'  We need to find C.  To do this, replace x with 6 and y with 4 and calculate C:

2(6) + 4(4) = C, or 12 + 16 = C.  Thus, C = 28, and the desired equation is

2x + 4y = 28, or (in simplified form)    x + 2y = 14

well what did you do it matters what you did : )

step-by-step explanation:

16 is the absolute value
