Answer:
The three lines that are parallel to the Given line are :
2x + 3y = 2
9y = -6x + 15
3y = -2x + 12
Explanation:
The exact question is as follows :
Given - The equation of a line is 2x + 3y = 4.
To find - Select three lines that are parallel to the given line.
A) 2x + 3y = 2
B) 2x + 5y = 15
C) 9y = -6x + 15
D) 3y = -2x + 12
E) 3x - 2y = 15
Solution -
We know that,
If the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different, the lines are parallel.
Given that,
The given line is 2x + 3y = 4
⇒3y = -2x + 4
⇒y = -(2/3)x + (4/3)
So,
Slope = -(2/3)
y-intercept = (4/3)
Now,
A.)
2x + 3y = 2
⇒3y = - 2x + 2
⇒y = -(2/3) + (2/3)
So,
Slope = -(2/3)
y-intercept = (2/3)
By Comparing with the given line's slope and y-intercept
We can see that
slope is same but y-intercept is different
So,
2x + 3y = 2 is parallel to the given line.
Now,
B.)
2x + 5y = 15
⇒5y = - 2x + 15
⇒y = -(2/5) + (15/5)
So,
Slope = -(2/5)
y-intercept = 3
By Comparing with the given line's slope and y-intercept
We can see that slope is different
So,
2x + 5y = 15 is not parallel to the given line.
C)
9y = -6x + 15
⇒y = -(6/9)x + (15/9)
= -(2/3)x + (5/3)
⇒y = -(2/3)x + (5/3)
So,
Slope = -(2/3)
y-intercept = 5/3
By Comparing with the given line's slope and y-intercept
We can see that slope is same and y-intercept is different
So,
9y = -6x + 15 is parallel to the given line.
D)
3y = -2x + 12
⇒y = -(2/3) + (12/3)
So,
Slope = -(2/3)
y-intercept = 4
By Comparing with the given line's slope and y-intercept
We can see that slope is same and y-intercept is different
So,
3y = -2x + 12 is parallel to the given line.
E)
3x - 2y = 15
⇒-2y = -3x + 15
⇒2y = 3x - 15
⇒y = (3/2) - (15/2)
So,
Slope = 3/2
y-intercept = -15/2
By Comparing with the given line's slope and y-intercept
We can see that slope is different
So,
3x - 2y = 15 is not parallel to the given line.
∴ we get
The three lines that are parallel to the given line are :
2x + 3y = 2
9y = -6x + 15
3y = -2x + 12
