SOLUTION: Are these two lines parallel? y=3x-2 and 2y=6x+5

Question 280659: Are these two lines parallel? y=3x-2 and 2y=6x+5
Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start by putting both into slope-intercept form: y = mx+b
.
y=3x-2 is given
.
2y = 6x + 5 needs to be reconfigured.
divide by 2
y = 3x + 5/2
.
The slope of each equation is 3, so they will be either parallel or lying one on top of the other (thus giving the appearance of a single line).
.
If they are actually a single line, then they will have the same y-intercept.
Recall the y-intercept is the point where x=0, which is 'b' in the slope-intercept equation.
.
The y-intercept of the first equation is: (0, 5).
The y-intercept of the second equation is: (0, 5/2)
So, they are parallel.
.
You can confirm by graphing...

.
Done.
