Answer:
False. 2/3 is positive so therefore, it would be increasing, not decreasing.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0 or (0,y))
For lines to be parallel, their slopes have to be the SAME.
The given line's slope is 5/3, so the parallel line's slope is also 5/3
y = 5/3x + b
To find "b", plug in the point (3,6) into the equation
y = 5/3x + b
6 = 5/3(3) + b
6 = 5 + b
1 = b
y = 5/3x + 1
The answer to this question is B.
