parallel to the line y=8/7x−6 | same slope = (8/7)
a. 8x+7y=35 0r y = (-8/7)x + 5
b. 8x−7y=56 0r y = (8/7)x - 8 ***** same slope
c. 8y−7x=−24 0r y = (7/8)x -3
d. 7x+8y=−8 0r y = (-7/8)x - 1

Which equation represents a line which is parallel to the line ?
a line which is parallel to the given line must have slope and given line has a slope
write each in slope intercept form
a.
=>=>=> a slope is
b.
=>=>=> a slope =>a line parallel to the line

c.
=>=>=> a slope is
d.
=>=>=> a slope is (but it is negative reciprocal of the slope of given line, so this line is perpendicular to given line)

so, answer is
b.
=>=>=> a slope =>a line parallel to the line
