Question

Are the graphs of the lines in the pair parallel? Explain.
y = 1/6 x 1+ 8
–2x + 12y = –11

Answer 1

–2x + 12y = –11
12y = 2x-11
y= 1/6 x - 11/12

so for both lines the slope = 1/6
so they are parallel

Answer 2

Yes, since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are the same. or Yes, since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different.

Answer 3

the y-intercepts are different...
anyway the y-intercept dont affect parallelism ;)
