Which of the following equations represents a line that is parallel to the line represented by the equation y = 4x - 2?

4x + 2
7x + 2
4x - 7
10x - 2

The correct answer is: 4x - 7

A line parallel to y = 4x - 2 will have the same slope as the existing line, which is 4. Out of the given options, only C has a slope of 4 (since the coefficient of x is the same). Option A has a different slope of 4 and a different y-intercept of 2, so it is not parallel. Option B has a different slope of 7 and the same y-intercept of 2, so it is also not parallel. Option D has a different slope of 10 and a different y-intercept of -2, so it is not parallel either. Hence, option C is the only equation that represents a line parallel to the given line.
