Question

HELLLLLPPP SOS

The following lines are parallel.
2x + 2y = 4 and y = -x + 5

Answer 1

TRUE OR FALSE?

Answer 2

you know the slope of each? that is what you need

Answer 3

like y=mx+b? @satellite73

Answer 4

yeah the second one looks like \(y=mx+b\) for sure, what is \(m\)?

Answer 5

-1?@satellite73

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

for the slope of \[2x+2y=4\] you can solve for \(y\) in two steps to get the slope

Answer 8

if you do not know how i can show you

Answer 9

yeah can you show me please @satellite73

Answer 10

subtract \(2x\)then divide by \(2\)
\[2x+2y=4\\
2y=-2x+4\\
y=-x+2\]

Answer 11

so they are parallel because they have the same slope since m in this problem also is -1? @satellite73

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

thank you!! @satellite73
