-2x + 5y = -12 -6x + _ y = _ --------------- If the lines are to be coincident, then they will coincide, be the same line. So, the equations have to be equivalent. Looking at the x terms, 3 times -2x = -6x So, multiply 3 times 5 to get 15 for the missing coefficient of y. Multiply -12 by 3 to get the missing constant term.
