Answer:
(c) 5y - x = -20
Step-by-step explanation:
When the x- and y-terms are on the same side of the equation, the slope of the line will be ...
m = -(coefficient of x)/(coefficient of y)
So, the slopes of the offered choices are ...
a) -5/1 = -5
b) -1/5
c) -(-1)/5 = 1/5 . . . . . parallel to given line
d) -5/-1 = 5
The lines will be parallel when their slopes are the same. The slope of the given line is the coefficient of x, 1/5. Choice C has the same slope.
