Question 701661: The question I am stumped on is
What value should you plug in for t in order to make the lines parallel?
R=tx + 4
2R-3x=5
I know that parallel lines have the same slope, but different y-intercepts

make the lines parallel?
R = tx + 4
put the 2nd equation into slope intercept form also
2R - 3x = 5
2R = 3x + 5
divide by 2
R = x +
the slope is , therefore
t =
