Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12=3x-2y

2y+12=3x

2y=3x-12

y=(3x-12)/2

y=mx+b

To be parallel to the line above our line must have the same slope or m. The above line has a slope of 3/2 or 1.5 so the parallel line will be

y=1.5x+b, using point (7,10) we can solve for the y intercept or b

10=1.5(7)+b

10=10.5+b

b=-0.5 so our line is

y=1.5x-0.5

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2> $slope \: = \: \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$ </h2><h3> $= \frac{ - 4 - (5)}{4 - (2)}$ </h3><h3> $= \frac{ - 9}{4 + 2}$ </h3><h3> $= \frac{ - 9}{6}$ </h3><h3> $= \frac{3( - 3)}{3 - 2}$ </h3><h3> $= - \frac{3}{2}$ </h3><h3>Hope it is helpful....</h3>
