Example Question #41 : How To Find Out If Lines Are Parallel

Find the equation of a line parallel to:

$y=-\frac{3}{8}x+102$

Possible Answers:

$y=102x-\frac{3}{8}$

$y=-\frac{3}{8}x-1$

$y=\frac{3}{8}x+123$

$y=\frac{8}{3}x-12$

Correct answer:

$y=-\frac{3}{8}x-1$

Explanation:

Lines that are parallel have the same slope. Lines can be written in the slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

In this equation, equals the slope and represents the y-intercept.

In the given equation:

$m=-\frac{3}{8}$

Only one of the choices has a slope of $-\frac{3}{8}$ :

$y=-\frac{3}{8}x-1$
