Which of the following lines is parallel to the line $4x - 3y = 7$?

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 $-a/b$. Parallel lines must have the same slope, so they must have the same coefficients of x and y. Among the options, only $4x - 3y = 5$ matches the given line's coefficients.
