I need help with this question please which pair of linear equations represent parallel lines ?
Answer choices:
y = 2x+3
y = -4x-3
y = -6x-5
y = 8x+2 (*)
y = -2x+5
y = -1/4x+7
y = 1/6x-5
y = 8x-5 (*)
The two lines marked by (*) are parallel. Those and only those.
Because they have equal slope of 8.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Parallel lines have the same slope.
if everything is written in the form y=mx+b, all one has to do is look for the same number in front of the x.
Here, y=2x+3 and y=2x+5 have the same slope and are parallel. They both have a "2x"
Also is y=8x+2 and y=8x-5 are parallel.
