SOLUTION: Which equation represents a line that is parallel to the line whose equation is y=-3x-7 A)y=-3x+4 B)y=1/3x+5 C)y=-1/3x-7 D)y=3x-2

Question 936100: Which equation represents a line that is parallel to the line whose equation is y=-3x-7
A)y=-3x+4
B)y=1/3x+5
C)y=-1/3x-7
D)y=3x-2
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = -3x-7 has a slope of -3

Any line with a slope of -3 will be parallel to this given line.

The only line that fits the description is choice A) y = -3x+4. Everything else has a different slope, therefore they aren't parallel to this given line.
