Answer:

y = 6/5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to put the equation given in slope intercept form, y = mx + b

6x - 5y = 5

Solve for y

6x - 5y = 5

Subtract 6x from both sides

-5y = -6x + 5

Divide both sides by -5

y = 6/5x - 1

Now we have the equation in slope intercept form

y = 6/5x - 1

We want to find the equation that would be parallel to it

Parallel lines have the same slope

The equation y = 6/5x - 1 has a slope of 6/5 so an equation that is parallel to it would also have a slope of 6/5

The only equation that has a slope of 6/5 is the top left one therefore that is the answer

Answer:

y = 6/5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the given equation:

$6x-5y=5\\-5y=-6x+5\\y=\frac{6}{5}x-1$

In order for another equation to be parallel, it must have the same slope. Therefore, y = 6/5x - 2 is the correct answer.

boyakko [2]

The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.
The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. 
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40. 
So the greatest common factor of 16, 24, and 40 is 8.

Hope this helps:)
