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!
