Answer:
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
