Answer:
<u>Option </u><u>D</u> (y = 5/6x -12).
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
The equation of the line which passes through the point (12,-2) is (y+2) = m2(x-12)………(i) [Using one point formula].
According to the question, the first line passes through point (12,6) and (0,-4).
So,
Therefore, the slope of the line is 5/6.
Now as per the condition of parallel lines, m1 =m2 = 5/6.
So, keeping the value of m2 in equation (i), we get;
(y+2) = 5/6(x-12)
or, y = 5/6x - 12.
Therefore, the required equation is y = 5/6 X - 12.
