The correct Answer is:
To determine which equation's graph is parallel to the line given by \( y = -3x - 6 \), we need to find the slope of the given line and then check which of the provided options has the same slope. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the slope of the given line**: The equation of the line is given as \( y = -3x - 6 \). In the slope-intercept form \( y = mx + c \), the slope \( m \) is the coefficient of \( x \). - Here, \( m = -3 \). 2. **Understand the condition for parallel lines**: For two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope. Therefore, we are looking for an equation from the options that also has a slope of \( -3 \). 3. **Examine the options**: We will analyze each option to find its slope. - **Option 1**: \( x - 3y = 3 \) - Rearranging gives: \( 3y = x - 3 \) or \( y = \frac{1}{3}x - 1 \). - Slope \( m = \frac{1}{3} \) (not equal to -3). - **Option 2**: \( x - \frac{1}{3}y = 2 \) - Rearranging gives: \( \frac{1}{3}y = x - 2 \) or \( y = 3x - 6 \). - Slope \( m = 3 \) (not equal to -3). - **Option 3**: \( x + \frac{1}{6}y = 4 \) - Rearranging gives: \( \frac{1}{6}y = -x + 4 \) or \( y = -6x + 24 \). - Slope \( m = -6 \) (not equal to -3). - **Option 4**: \( x + \frac{1}{3}y = 5 \) - Rearranging gives: \( \frac{1}{3}y = -x + 5 \) or \( y = -3x + 15 \). - Slope \( m = -3 \) (this is equal to -3). 4. **Conclusion**: The fourth option has the same slope as the given line, which means it is parallel to the line \( y = -3x - 6 \). ### Final Answer: The equation whose graph is parallel to the line \( y = -3x - 6 \) is **Option 4**: \( x + \frac{1}{3}y = 5 \).
