Question

Which of the following statements is true about lines 3y + 2x - 9 = 0 and 12y + 8x - 5 = 0?


they are parallel

They are perpendicular

They are parallel to the x-axis

They are parallel to the y-axis

Answer 1

lets start using technology to solve this question
3y + 2x - 9 = 0
12y + 8x - 5 = 0
we have to solve for y in both equations

Answer 2

lets start with the 1st equation, wait a moment ill brb

Answer 3

k @Muzzack

Answer 4

im back

Answer 5

lets put all the nonvariable into the other side
------
3y+2x=9
------
now all we have to do is put 2x to the other side by subtracting
------
3y=-2x+9
------
easy...well now we have to divide 3 both sides to isolate y
------
\(y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3\)

Answer 6

Okay so just divide three from both sizes or thats what that is ^? @Muzzack
