Question

which equation represents a line parallel to 3x-8y=12

A. y=3/8x-4
B. y=-3/8x-4
C. y=8/3x-4
D. y=-8/3x-4​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Answer is: B. y = -3/8x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation: 3x - 8y = 12

Find a parallel line that matches one of the equations shown.

First, find the slope by solving for y:

3x - 8y = 12

8y = -3x + 12

y = -3/8x + 12/8

y = -3/8x + 3/2

Slope m = -3/8

Since the slope of a line parallel is the same slope, the only equation that fits the conditions is B because in the form y = mx + b, m = -3/8.

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!!  :-)

Answer 2

The answer is y = 3/8x -4 / $y = \frac{3}{8}x-4$
