Question

Will medal 
Is this equation parallel?
3x-y=-9
2y-6x=-2

zarkon · Answer

$$3x-y=-9$$
$$-y+3x=-9$$
$$-2(-y+3x=-9)$$
$$2y-6x=18$$

what?

snowsurf · Answer

@mdjjh16   Let me ask you this. Do you what makes the equations parallel to each other.

anonymous · Answer

Yes, the slopes have to be the same

anonymous · Answer

I don't know how to do this one. The others I got but I'm stuck

snowsurf · Answer

Yes. These equations are not in slope intercept form. So make the equations like 
y = mx + b. Then look at the m (the slope) value and see what you get.

anonymous · Answer

see thats the problem, im messing up with the negatives and positives

snowsurf · Answer

Okay. First move the x on the right side for both equations. Then isolate y by diving the coefficient through the equation.

Example 3x-y=-9

-y = -3x -9  divide by -1

y = 3x + 9

Now do that to the other equation. Then compare the slopes you find.

anonymous · Answer

2y-6x=-2
2y=6x-2
y=3x-1?

anonymous · Answer

so they are parellel

snowsurf · Answer

Yes they are. They have the same slope.

ok thenks
