Which of the following lines is parallel to \(4x - 3y = 7\)?

1. 4x - 3y = 5
2. 3x - 4y = 7
3. 4x + 3y = 7
4. 2x - 3y = 5

Correct answer: 4x - 3y = 5

Solution

For a line \(ax+by=c\), the slope is \(-a/b\). The given line \(4x-3y=7\) has slope \(4/3\). Only \(4x-3y=5\) has the same coefficients of x and y, so it is parallel.
