Which equation represents a line parallel to 3x-8y=12?

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
