Question

Are the graphs of the lines in the pair parallel? Explain.

y=2/3x-17 
4x – 6y = –6

campbell_st · Answer

take the 2nd equation and make y the subject... 

then compare it to the 1st equation...

amoodarya · Answer

as "campbell_st" says if slopes are = then two line are paralle

anonymous · Answer

can you help me decide which one would be my answer.

A.Yes, since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different
B. No, since the y-intercepts are different
C. Yes, since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are the same
D. No, since the slopes are different

campbell_st · Answer

well what did you get when you put the 2nd line in slope intercept form...?

Just a friendly warning to all you helpers. http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/52cdaa3ae4b0c694af17ad2b this kid needs help on coordinates...

anonymous · Answer

Yes.
The slope of each line is 2/3.

ohh shut  up

anonymous · Answer

A plot is attached.

anonymous · Answer
