Answer:

B: y = 1/2x - 3/2

Explanation:

Given points M (-3, 2) and N (1, 4):

The slope of line MN can be determined using the slope formula:


m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (4 - 2)/(1 - (- 3)) = (2)/(4) = (1)/(2)

Therefore, the slope of line MN = 1/2.

By definition, parallel lines have equal slopes. Since the slope of line MN = 1/2, then it means that the slope of the other line parallel to line MN must also be 1/2.

Therefore, the correct answer is B: y = 1/2x - 3/2.
