Question

Need help with the problem in the photo.

Answer 1

B. 3x -2y = 10

Explanation:

The given line rises three units for each two units of run to the right. Hence its slope is 3/2. A parallel line will also have a slope of 3/2.

Of the equations we can see, selection B has a slope of 3/2. It can be rewritten in slope-intercept form as ...

3x -10 = 2y . . . . . add 2y-10 to isolate the y-term; next divide by 2.

y = 3/2x -5 . . . . . the coefficient of x is the slope
