Not sure what to do here ..

The graph of the following system of equations is
2x + y = 6
6x + 3y = 12

a. Overlapping lines	
	 b. Parallel lines	
	 c. Intersecting lines

First re-arrange both equations to get 'y' on its own - do this now.

anonymous · Answer

Okay, so you should get:

$$y=6-2x$$
$$y=4-2x$$

Okay , i know that part :l but when i see graph I panic!

anonymous · Answer

Do you mean from the question? Hmm... It doesn't ask you to graph it - so don't worry to much about that ...

anonymous · Answer

You can graph it to check your answer though - what you will find is that both equations have the same slope: (reminder slope is the term in front of the x term) which is -2...sooo the answer must be b) paralell lines!
