Given 2y = 6x + 12 and 3y + x = 15, determine if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Can some one please help? :(

Question

ddcamp · Answer

Start by solving both equations for y.

anonymous · Answer

Will you just tell me the answer? i think its parallel?

ddcamp · Answer

When solved for y, the two equations will be
$$y = m₁x + b₁$$
$$y = m₂x + b₂$$

If m₁=m₂, the lines a parallel.
If m₁ = - (1/m₂), the lines are perpindicular

anonymous · Answer

so they are parallel?

ddcamp · Answer

Did you solve for y in both equations?
