Answer:

c. 4y=6x+8

Explanation:

For lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope. To solve this problem, we need to isolate the y on one side of the equation (putting the equation into slope intercept form).

The equation itself must be divided by 2 to do that. We end up with y=1.5x-0.5. We need to find another equation that has 1.5 as the slope.

b. y=0.5x-1.5

c. y=1.5x+2

d. y=3x+4

e. y=2/3x-1

As we can see, the only other equation with a slope of 1.5 is C. Therefore, C is our answer.
