Question 571130: Sorry I forgot to write out the pair of lines
3x+8=y
2y=6x-3
are these lines parallel? Found 2 solutions by mananth, Maths68:Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3x+8=y............(1)
y=3x+8
Compare above equation with the standard equation of the line
y=mx+b
slope =m=3 and y-intercept =b=8
2y=6x-3...........(2)
Divide above equation by 2
2y/2=(6x-3)/2
y=6x/2-3/2
y=3x-3/2
Compare above equation with the standard equation of the line
y=mx+b
slope =m=3 and y-intercept =b=-3/2
Both lines are parallel because their slopes are same.
