Answer:
e. 2x - 7y = 31.
Explanation:
If you want a line parallel to the equation, the line must have the same slope.
2x - 7y = 9
-7y = -2x + 9
y = 2/7x - 9/7
You are looking for a line where the slope is 2/7.
a. Slope is 7/2.
b. Slope is -7/2.
c. Slope is 7/2.
d. Slope is...
y + 2 = 3/4x + 3
y = 3/4x + 1
Slope is 3/4.
e. Slope is -2/-7, which is 2/7. Just make sure to check whether it passes through (5, -3) by substituting those points into the equation.
2 * 5 - 7 * -3 = 31
10 --21 = 31
10 + 21 = 31
And there's your answer: e.
Hope this helps!
