Question

is x+8=y parallel to y-x= -4

Answer 1

Put your equations into the form of
\[y=mx+b\]
where m is the slope of the line
b is an element of real numbers.

Your first equation is already in that form. Your second equation is not. Please re-arrange your second equation.

Once you've put both equations in that particular form, please tell me whether they have the same m value beside the x term.
When two lines are parallel, the m value of both lines would be the same.

Answer 2

If you read what I said carefully, I said your first equation is already in that form. Why did you change the equation and put a minus next to the x?

Answer 3

\[x+8=y\] is the same as \[y=x+8\]
You don't need to cahnge signs if you're not moving any terms...

Answer 4

change*

Answer 5

Your second equation is wrong too. Please re-arrange again.
I will give you an example.
\[x=y\]is the same as \[y=x\]
What you did in this question was basically saying \[y=-x\]is the same as \[x=y\]

Answer 6

You did the same mistake when you tried re-arranging your second equation, so beware of this confusion and error.

Answer 7

Thank you for trying

Answer 8

@emerson161, what did you get after your second attempt at rearranging? You haven't told me what you got for your second equation. If you're expecting a straight answer from me, you won't get it because you're not learning if you just get teh answer. Please try and understand your math homework.

So what was your answer to your question? Are both lines parallel to each other? Yes or no?
