Gucchi:

am i right with B? or is it A

thanks lol

LostLegacy06:

Your right, it's parallel lines

axie:

No they over lap. if you multiply the bottom equation by three then it is the same equation as the top one.

If you solve it algebraically they are the same line which means they have the same slope which means they are parallel

axie:

Parallel lines never touch but run along each other, overlapping lines are right on top of each other

axie:

Lines are parallel if they are always the same distance apart (called "equidistant"), and will never meet. https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/parallel-lines.html

LostLegacy06:

they have different y-intercepts

LostLegacy06:

but the same slope

Gucchi:

alright axie A right?

Gucchi:

imma go with that

LostLegacy06:

alr-

axie:

Yes it is A

axie:

Yes they ARE paralell but a better way to describe them is to be more specific, which is overlapping.

Gucchi:

okay
