Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

$y=mx+b$

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The given equation is

$y=\frac{5}{2}x-10$

It means the slope of the line is 5/2 and y-intercept is -10.

The slope of two parallel lines is same. So, the slope of required line is 5/2.

The equation of required line is

$y=\frac{5}{2}x+b$

It is given that the line passes through the point (-6,-29).

$(-29)=\frac{5}{2}(-6)+b$

$-29=-15+b$

$-29+15=+b$

$-14=b$

The y-intercept of required line is -14. So the equation of required line is

$y=\frac{5}{2}x-14$

Therefore the correct option is B.
