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

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!!  :-)
