<span>By definition, lines are parallel if they have the same gradient (slope). Any horizontal line has a gradient of 0, so it is parallel to any other horizontal line</span>
-2x+y=5
x-3y=-30 so you can multiply the bottom equation by 2 you'll get 2x-6y=-60
-2x+y=5
2x-6y=-60 And subtract the equations. You'll get -5y=-55 y=11. Plug it in to one of the original equations. -2x+(11)=5
-2x=-6 so x=3
y=11 and x=3
