Question 231345: the condition below is true in some cases and false in at least one instance. give one example that shows when the condition is true and one that shows when its false. your answer may be a diagram,an expression,an equation,or a written response
the lines represented by these two equations are parallel 2x+5y=8 and 4x+ky=12
Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the lines represented by these two equations are parallel 2x+5y=8 and 4x+ky=12
-----------------------------------
Ans:
Parallel when 2/4 = 5/k
---
Parallel if k = 10 for both lines would have the
same slope and therefore be parallel.
-----
If k is not 10 the lines will intersect in one point
because the slopes will cause them to meet.
