Answer: The answer should be A.

Step-by-step explanation: Remember the formula for slope, m=
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) ), using the coordinates you will find that the slope of this line is 4/5. Now we know that parallel lines always have the same slope with different y-intercepts or b values. Therefore, A is your answer.
