Question 118760
Let's find the slope of {{{y=6x-13}}}


Let's use the general equation {{{y=mx+b}}} where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept


From {{{y=6x-13}}}, we can see that {{{m=6}}} and {{{b=-13}}} 


So the slope of {{{y=6x-13}}} is {{{m=6}}}




----------------


Let's find the slope of {{{y=-6x-12}}}


Let's use the general equation {{{y=mx+b}}} where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept


From {{{y=-6x-12}}}, we can see that {{{m=-6}}} and {{{b=-12}}} 


So the slope of {{{y=-6x-12}}} is {{{m=-6}}}




Since the two slopes are <b>not</b> equal, the two lines are <b>not</b> parallel.
