which equation represents a line that is to the line whose equation is
as you can see, the line has a slope
by definition, lines have slope
so, look for a line that has a slope :
a.


-> this line have a slope ; so, this is not your answer
B.

-> this line have a slope ; so, this is not your answer
C.
...divide both sides by

-> this line have a slope ; so, this your answer

D.

..divide both sides by
-> this line have a slope ; so, this is not your answer
