Understanding Parallel Line Equations

What is the key characteristic of two parallel lines in terms of their equations?

• They have the same y-intercept.

• They have the same slope.

• They are perpendicular to each other.

• They intersect at one point.

How do you determine the y-intercept of a line?

• By setting y to zero and solving for x.

• By calculating the average of x and y.

• By finding the midpoint of the line.

• By setting x to zero and solving for y.

What is the y-intercept of the new line in the video?

• 0

• 9/5

• -3/5

• -12/5

Which form is used to write the equation of a line given its slope and y-intercept?

• Standard form

• Point-slope form

• Quadratic form

• Slope-intercept form

What is the final equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and shares the same y-intercept?

• y = 3/5x + 12/5

• y = -3/5x + 9/5

• y = -3/5x - 12/5

• y = 3/5x - 12/5
