Question 965571:
Which line is parallel to x = y/3 - 8/3?
A. 2x + 3y = 4
B. -3x - 8y = 1
C. 6x - 2y = 5
D. -8x + 6y = 6

to find out which line is parallel to , first write this one in slope-intercept form to find a slope
recall: parallel line have same slope
.......both sides multiply by
....solve for
=> a slope is
now write these equations one in slope-intercept form to find a slope
A.


=> a slope is ; so, this is NOT your answer
B.


=> a slope is ; so, this is NOT your answer

C.



=> a slope is ; so, this IS your answer

D.



> a slope is ; so, this is NOT your answer
so, your answer is C.
