Question

Which line is parallel to to the line given below?


x - 3y = 24:


y = -3x - 1

y = -3x - 1

y = 1/3x + 3

y = 1/3x + 3

y = 3x + 8

y = 3x + 8

y = -1/3x - 4

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 3y = 24

-3y = 24 - x

y = -(24/3) - (1/3)x

y = -(1/3)x - 8

The slope is -(1/3).  A parallel line will have the same slope.

y=-(1/3)x - 4 has the same slope.  Therefore, it is parallel.
