Graphs/161588: I am having a very hard time understanding this, can you please help? Determine whether the graphs of the pair of lines are parallel. x+13=y y-x=-9 For x+13=y, I came up with the answer x-y+13=0 but I am not sure if it is right and why or why not. For y-x=-9, I came up with the answer of -8; again I am not sure. What is the slope of the line x+13=y? What is the slope of the line y-x=-9? Are the graphs of the equations parallel? 1 solutions Answer 119066 by checkley77(12569)   on 2008-10-12 10:04:24 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+13=y y-x=-9 The first thing you must do is find the slope (m) by placing these formula in the standard line form: Y=mX+b where x & y are a set of graph points, m=slope (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) & b=the y intercept. y=x+13 This line has a slope (m)=1. (red line) y=x-9 This line also has a slope (m)=1. (green line) Therefore they are parallel lines. Proof: (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -16 to 15, y from -10 to 15, of TWO functions x +13 and x -9).
