Fluency Practice

Extract each slope first, then compare.

Which line is parallel to $y = 4x - 7$ ?

$y = -\frac{1}{4}x + 2$ , since its slope is the negative reciprocal.

$y = -4x - 7$ , since it shares the same constant term.

$y = 4x + 1$

$y = \frac{1}{4}x - 7$ , since it shares the same constant term.
