Answer 1

Because both lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, we conclude that the lines are parallel.

What can we conclude about the two given lines?

Here we have the two lines:

6x - 2y = -2

y = 3x + 12

If we write both of these in the slope-intercept form, we get:

y = (-2 - 6x)/-2  = 3x + 1

y = 3x + 12

So, as you can see, both lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts. That means that the two lines are parallel, so they never do intercept.

Then we can conclude that the correct option is parallel.
