Question

What is the equation of a line that passes through (8,-5) and is parallel to the graphed line? -8 -6 H -2 CHE B 5 4 N N -Z 4 G 2 A. y = - = - 47 B. y - 11 C. y + 1 D. y = - + 4 4 6 8​

Answer 1

The slope of the line in the graph is 3/4.

-5 = (3/4)(8) + b

-5 = 6 + b, so b = -11

y = (-3/4)x - 11

The correct answer is B.
