Question

PLEASE HELP ME IN MATH IM CONFUSED

Answer 1

Answer:

the second choice is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x - 9 is in this form

with slope m = $\frac{3}{4}$

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (- 8, - 18) into the partial equation

- 18 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = - 18 + 6 = - 12

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x - 12 ← equation of parallel line
