Given a linear equation 8x - y = 1
[tex]\begin{gathered} y\text{ = mx + c} \\ 8x\text{ - y = 1} \\ 8x\text{ - 1 = y} \\ y\text{ = 8x - 1} \\ m\text{ = 8 , c = -1} \end{gathered}[/tex]equation that represents a line which is parallel to the line 8x - y = 1
for Parallel equation m₁ = m₂ (same slope)
Option A is wrong the slope are not equal
Option B is wrong the slope are not equal
Option C is wrong the slope are not equal
Option D is correct since the slope are equal
Hence the equation 8x - y = 1 is parallel to y = 8x -3
