are the two functions parallel perpendicular the same equation or none of these choices ?? y = 6x + 12 and 24x-4y = -48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you must first put the second equation in terms of y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you could look at the slope of the function y = mx + b m = slope b = y intercept

So when we have systems of equations, you want to graph it out or solve the equations to see the points. So if you have intersecting lines |dw:1427515962160:dw| you will have one point of intersection, one solution, different slopes for the lines, and can be the same. If you have parallel lines they look as such |dw:1427516040927:dw| you see there's no point of intersection, so there is no solution. They do however have the same slope, and different y - intercepts. So if you're doing it mathematically, you will get a false statement as 0 = 4. Coincident lines have infinite points, infinite solutions same slope. same y - int, and have true statements, it looks as such |dw:1427516159677:dw| I drew it as such to differentiate the two.
