Question

Which equation goes through the point (5,-4) and is parallel to y=2/3x-5

A. Y - 5 = 1/3x - 6
B. Y = -2/3x + 8
C. Y + 4 = -3/2x (x - 5)
D. Y + 4 = 2/3 (x - 5)

Answer 1

Answer: D , Y + 4 = 2/3 (x-5)

Step-by-step explanation: Since the equation has to be parallel, both equations need to have the same slope; in this case it is 2/3. Then, you can plug in the point into the equations to ascertain if it’s a true statement or a false statement.
