Question

Which equation represents a line that is parallel to the line whose equation is 2x + 3y =12

Answer 1

Answer:

Choose an equation that has this same slope or the same coefficients of x and y - 2x + 3y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines are lines which do not intersect. As a result they have the same slope. The line here is 2x + 3y = 12 which can be rearranged into slope intercept form to find the slope.

2x + 3y = 12

3y = 12 - 2x

y = 4 - 2/3 x

The slope of the line is -2/3. Choose an equation that has this same slope or the same coefficients of x and y - 2x + 3y.
