I would start with the standard form equation of the parallel line.
.. 5x -2y = 5(-2) -2(3) = -16
Then solve for y.
.. 2y = 5x +16 . . . add 2y+16; then divide by 2 for the next equation
.. y = (5/2)x +8 . . . . . . . corresponds to selection (B)
Well, we can input both variables to check and see if the numbers hold.
-691 = -51(-15) - 74
-691 = 765-64
-691 = 701
(-15, -691) does not make the equation true.
A. Subtract the y intercepts (5-1)
