Answer:
The answer is option A
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line is y = mx + c
where
m is the slope
c is the y intercept
To find the equation of the parallel line we must first find the slope of the original line
From the question the original line is
y = 2/3x - 7
Comparing with the general equation above
Slope = 2/3
Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same
Slope of parallel line = 2/3
So the equation of the line using point
(12 , 2 ) and slope 2/3 is
[tex]y - 2 = \frac{2}{3} (x - 12) \\ y - 2 = \frac{2}{3} x - 8 \\ y = \frac{2}{3} x - 8 + 2[/tex]
We have the final answer as
[tex]y = \frac{2}{3} x - 6 \\ [/tex]
Hope this helps you
