Lynda cuts a piece of wood for a project. The first cut is shown and can be represented by the equation y=1/4x-5.The secend cut needs to be parallel to the first.it will pass through the point (0,4).Identify the equation that represents Lymda's second cut.

Since the second line is parallel to the first, it will have the same slope. The y-intercept of the new line is 4 (because of the coordinates given) so the equation of Lynda's second cut is y = 1/4x + 4 which is choice C

For this case we have that if two lines are parallel then they have the same slope. Thus, the second cut is represented by:

[tex]y = \frac {1} {4} x + b[/tex]

If the second line passes through (0,4), we substitute and find "b".

[tex]4 = \frac {1} {4} (0) + b\\b = 4[/tex]

Thus, the equation is:

[tex]y = \frac {1} {4} x + 4[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]y = \frac {1} {4} x + 4[/tex]

Option C
