Answer:

Any line with a slope of -5/8 would be parallel to this line.

Step-by-step explanation:

First write this in the slope intercept form of a line

y = mx + b.  The number before the x will be the slope.

5x + 8y = 24  Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation

8y = -5x +24 Divide everything by 8

y = -5/8x + 3
