Question

Identify the line having slope 2.

  1. x = 2y + 2

  2. 2y = x + 2  
  3. 2y = x

  4. 2y = 4x + 4

hintHint:

1. The slope of a line can be defined as the change in y coordinates of any 2 points on that line corresponding to the change in the x coordinates of those 2 points. This is generally referred to as the rise to run ratio of the given line i.e. how much did the y-coordinates rise vis-a-vis how long a distance was covered by the x-coordinates. Slope = m = rise / run = y2-y1 / x2-x1
2. Equation of a straight line in standard form-
y = mx + c

The correct answer is: 2y = 4x + 4


    Step-by-step solution:-
    We will simplify the given equations and compare the same with standard form of a straight line to find the value of m.
    a. x = 2y + 2
    ∴ x - 2 = 2y
    ∴ (x - 2) / 2 = y
    ∴ 1/2 x - 2/2 = y
    ∴ 1/2 x - 1 = y
    i.e. y = 1/2 x - 1
    Comparing this with y = mx + c, we get m = 1/2 ≠ 2
    b. 2y = x + 2
    ∴ y = (x + 2) / 2 .................................... (Dividing both sides by 2)
    ∴ y = 1/2 x + 2/2
    ∴ y = 1/2 x + 1
    Comparing this with y = mx + c, we get m = 1/2 ≠ 2
    c. 2y = x
    ∴ y = 1/2 x ............................... (Dividing both sides by 2)
    ∴ y = 1/2 x + 0
    Comparing this with y = mx + c, we get m = 1/2 ≠ 2
    d. 2y = 4x + 4
    ∴ y = 4/2 x + 4/2 …......................... (Dividing both sides by 2)
    ∴ y = 2x + 2
    Comparing this with y = mx + c, we get m = 2
    Final Answer:-
    ∴ Option d i.e. 2y = 4x + 4 is the correct option because its slope = m = 2.
