    B. y = - 3/8x - 4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given equation: 3x - 8y = 12

    Find a parallel line that matches one of the equations shown.

    First, find the slope by solving for y:

    3x - 8y = 12

    8y = - 3x + 12

    y = - 3/8x + 12/8

    y = - 3/8x + 3/2

    Slope m = - 3/8

    Since the slope of a line parallel is the same slope, the only equation that fits the conditions is B because in the form y = mx + b, m = - 3/8
