Question

Which of these lines is parallel to 3x + 2y = 5?

• A. 3x+2y=7
• B. 2x+3y=5
• C. 3x-2y=5
• D. x+y=5

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 3x+2y=7

Yes, the answer is correct.

Two lines are parallel if they have the same coefficients of (x) and (y) (same slope) but different constants.

Given line:

3x + 2y = 5

A parallel line must have the form:

3x + 2y = c

where $(c \neq 5).$

So,

$\boxed{3x + 2y = 7}$

is parallel to $(3x + 2y = 5).$
