Question

Line IJ has an equation of a line y = 6x - 5, and line KL has an equation of a line y = 6x + 3. These two lines are (5 points)
Select one:
a. parallel because the slopes of the lines are equal
b. perpendicular because the slopes are opposite reciprocals
c. both equations of the same line
d. not parallel or perpendicular

Answer 1

@apple_pi

Answer 2

parallel lines have the same slope, perpendicular lines have the negative reciprocal slope
the equations are in the y=mx+b form, the y-intercept form
you can see the slopes are 6 on both equations

Answer 3

If this is a line y = mx+ c
Then m is a slope and c is the y-intercept.

What similarity do you see in the equations?

Answer 4

wher did you get that profile picture

Answer 5

so b @lucaz

Answer 6

the slopes are 6, they are equal

Answer 7

It should be A because there slopes are equal and slopes define how inclined they are, along the positive direction of the x-axis and if there inclinations are same they are considered to be parallel!!

Understood @prowrestler ? :)
