Question

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

Answer 1

Start by solving both equations for y.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

so they are parallel?

Answer 5

Did you solve for y in both equations?
