Which of the following lines is not parallel to the line 3y + 2x + 7 = 0?
A. 3y + 2x - 7 = 0 B. 9y + 6x + 17 = 0 C. 24y + 16x + 19 = 0 D. 3y - 2x + 7 = 0 E. 15y + 10x - 13 = 0
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Two lines are said to be parallel if the slope of the two lines are equal. The equation : \(3y + 2x + 7 = 0\) \(3y = -2x - 7\) \(y = \frac{-2}{3} x - \frac{7}{3}\) \(\frac{\mathrm d y}{\mathrm d x} = - \frac{2}{3}\) All the options have the same slope except \(3y - 2x + 7 = 0\).
