Answer:

D

Explanation:

A parallel line is two or more lines that will never intersect each other, and have the same slope. If we want to find the parallel line of y=-5/2x-7, we also want a line with the same slope as that line.

The slope is represented in the equation of y=mx+b as m, given that y=mx+b is the standard equation for a linear equation.

The only choice that has -5/2 as m is option D, therefore D is the correct answer
