1. The problem asks us to find which equation represents a line parallel to the line given by $$y = -3x + 4$$.
2. Recall that parallel lines have the same slope.
3. The slope of the given line is $$-3$$ (coefficient of $$x$$ in slope-intercept form $$y=mx+b$$).
4. We need to find which equation among the options has slope $$-3$$ when rewritten in slope-intercept form.
5. Let's analyze each option:
A) $$6x + 2y = 15$$
Solve for $$y$$:
$$2y = -6x + 15$$
$$y = -3x + \frac{15}{2}$$
Slope is $$-3$$, matches the given slope.
B) $$3x - y = 7$$
Solve for $$y$$:
$$-y = -3x + 7$$
$$y = 3x - 7$$
Slope is $$3$$, does not match.
C) $$2x - 3y = 6$$
Solve for $$y$$:
$$-3y = -2x + 6$$
$$y = \frac{2}{3}x - 2$$
Slope is $$\frac{2}{3}$$, does not match.
D) $$x + 3y = 1$$
Solve for $$y$$:
$$3y = -x + 1$$
$$y = -\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{1}{3}$$
Slope is $$-\frac{1}{3}$$, does not match.
6. Only option A has slope $$-3$$, so it represents a line parallel to the given line.
Final answer: A) $$6x + 2y = 15$$
Parallel Line 0E4F29
