Question

Can you please help me with a problem?? I will post the problem below. Thank you so much!!

Answer 1

How do I start this???

Answer 2

what do parallel lines have in common?

Answer 3

do they have the same slope?

Answer 4

Yes they have the same slope

Answer 5

ok what lines there have same slope?

Answer 6

Parallel lines always have the same slope, so what you need to do is put all of these equations in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) and then compare the m values, the slopes, and see which are the same.

Answer 7

yes it would probably help to do as @Tuggaro suggested, put in slope intercept form

Answer 8

can you do that?

Answer 9

your equations are
\[5y=-3x-5\]\[5y=-3x-1\]\[3y=2x-1\]
convert them to
\[y=mx+c\]
where m and c are constants

Answer 10

5y=-3x-5
5y=-3x-1
3y=-2x-1

Answer 11

\[3y=2x-1\]

Answer 12

oh okay

Answer 13

so the answer is 1 and 2 ??

Answer 14

@Nishant_Garg Don't forget that you have to get the y completely alone, so you have to divide everything by 3, giving you y = 2/3x-1/3

Answer 15

I know that, I wanted him to do that next step

Answer 16

Yes, the answer is 1 and 2.

Answer 17

Thank you all so much!!!! <3

Answer 18

line 1 and line 2 both have the value
\[m=\frac{-3}{5}\]
2 lines are parallel if their slopes or value of "m" is equal

Answer 19

I'm a she !! :)

Answer 20

someone said they wanted "him" to do the next step... I'm a "she" lol

Answer 21

oh

Answer 22

my bad

Answer 23

It's no problem .... Thank you all so so much!!
