Richard and his friend Makenzie live on opposite corners of a rectangular park. To get from Richard’s house to Makenzie’s house, Richard can ride his bike 3.75 miles south, along the sidewalk, then turn west and ride 9 miles. When it isn’t too muddy, Richard can also ride directly across the park to her house. How much farther does Richard have to ride if he chooses to go around the park?

here is your mark brainliest

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
