Question 249104: directions
are the graph of the line in the pair parallel?explain
y=1/6x+8
-2x+12y=-11

Are the graph of the lines in the pair parallel? Explain.
y=(1/6)x+8 ...and... -2x+12y=-11

Facts:
1. Two parallel lines share the same slope.
2. To determine a slope, express the equations in this form:
3. m = slope

<--- is already in y=mx+b form. Slope is

<--- the slope is

The answer is: they are parallel lines because they share the same slope.

Here is how their graphs look like:
represented in red
represented in green
