Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope. The slope of the given line is 3/4. Line B has the same slope.
First thing you should do is reduce coefficients.
1st equation has all multiples of '2'. Divide by 2
---> x +3y = -6
2nd equation has multiples of 5. Divide by 5.
---> x - y = 2
Now elimination part is easier.
Eliminate 'x' variable by subtracting 2nd equation from 1st.
x + 3y = -6
-(x - y = 2)
----------------------
4y = -8
Solve for 'y'
4y = -8
y = (-8)/4 = -2
Substitute value for 'y' back into 2nd equation:
x - (-2) = 2
x + 2 = 2
x = 0
Solution to system is:
x=0, y =-2
The slope of the given line is found from the coefficient of x after dividing the equation by 2.
.. y = -3x +4
The given line has slope -3.
A perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this:
.. -1/(-3) = 1/3
This corresponds to your 3rd choice.
