Line ij has an equation of a line y = −3x − 8. which of the following could be an equation for a line that is parallel to line ij? a) y=3x+7 b) y=1/3x+7 c) y= -3x+7 d) y= -1/3x+7

C) y = -3x +7

It's all about recognizing patterns.

The form of the equation is ...

... y = mx + b

In this form, the coefficient of x, which we called "m" in the above, is the slope of the line. When two lines have the same slope, they are parallel. So, we're looking for an equation that has an x-coefficient of -3, the same as in the given equation.

The coefficient of x in selection C is -3, so that is our answer choice.

... C) y = -3x +7

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!

d. all of the above
