<PRE><B>Question 231345</B>
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.
