Question

Which choice is the equation of a line that passes through the point (0, –15) and is parallel to the line represented by this equation?

5x− 4y = 12


A. y=4/5x -8



B. y= 5/4x-15



C. y= -5/4x+7



D.y= -4/5x -12

Answer 1

first solve for y so you get your slope.
-4y=-5x+12
divide by -4
y=5/4x-3
in this case, you want a parallel line. parallel lines have the same slope, so rhe answer is B.
(slope being 5/4)
