Question

YesAre these two lines parallel?y = - 4X 12 3 4y 2 4 6 8No>

Answer 1

SOLUTION

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: State the condition for two lines to be parallel

Slope of parallel lines are equal.

STEP 2: Get the slope of the first line

A linear equation is written in the form;

$y=mx+c$

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

The slope of the given line which is written as:

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{x}{3}-4 \\ y=\frac{1}{3}x-4 \end{gathered}$

Slope is 1/3

STEP 3: Get the slope of the second line

$undefined$
