Answer 1

To determine which line is parallel to the line given by the equation \( y = 3x - 5 \), we need to look for a line that has the same slope.

In the equation \( y = 3x - 5 \), the slope is 3.

A line is parallel to another if it has the same slope. Therefore, you will need to check the equations or slopes of the lines labeled A, B, C, and D in the image. Look for the one that also has a slope of 3.

If you can provide the equations of the lines or their slopes, I can help you identify the correct option!
