If the lines 3y = 4x - 1 and qy = x + 3 are parallel to each other, the value of q is
A
-4/3
B
-3/4
C
4/3
D
3/4
correct option: d

If the line 3y = 4x – 1 is parallel t[ line qy = x + 3

Implies gradient of 3y = 4x – 1

Y = 4/3x - 1/3

∴Gradient = 4/3

Gradient of line qy = x + 3

Y = 1/qx + 3/q

∴ Gradient = 1/q
4/3 = 1/q

4q = 3

Q = 3/4
