Determine whether the graphs of the pair of lines are parallel.
x+12=y
y-x=-8
The slope of the line x+12=y is?

Question

anonymous · Answer

yes. both have the same slope

anonymous · Answer

soo what would the slope be? Im confused

anonymous · Answer

yeap both have same slope, so parallel. The slope of the given line is 1

anonymous · Answer

I can explain it to ya.

anonymous · Answer

just compare the given linear equation with y=mx+c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

anonymous · Answer

Please do

anonymous · Answer

x+12 =y
that means y = x+12
the slope intercept form of a line is y = mx+b, where m is the slope
y = (1)x+12
so slope is 1

anonymous · Answer

Ooooh , okay I got it now . Thanks

anonymous · Answer

The trick is to make both equations say y= blah blah
If the number in front of the x are the same, then they're parallel.  
You know how to set them to where it says y=??????

yes
