Question

how can i determine if graphs are parallel y+8=-6,-2x+y=5

Answer 1

To prove two lines are parallel, they must have the same slope.

Answer 2

y + 8 - 8 = -6 - 8
y = -14

-2x/-2 + y = 5/-2
x + y - x= -2.5 - x
y = -2.5 - x

They are not parallel.

Answer 3

thank you so much.....I have been teaching myself and still question how i get my answer that a lot of the times are correct

Answer 4

y = mx + b

Remember that m is the slope, that will do you a lot just remembering that. :P

Answer 5

thanks
