Answer

Solving,

⇒ 3x - 5y + 8 = 0

⇒ 3x + 8 = 5y

y=35x+85y = \dfrac{3}{5}x + \dfrac{8}{5}.

The slope of the given line is m=35m = \dfrac{3}{5}.

Since the required line is parallel, its slope must be the same as m.

Let slope of required line be m1,

m1 = m = 35\dfrac{3}{5}.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
