You need to convert the second equation to slope/intercept form. The first equation is in that form already. Then you can compare slopes.
-6x + 8y = 14
8y = 6x + 14
y = (3/4)x + 14/8
SO THE SLOPE IS 3/4 which is the same as slope of equation 1
Therfore they are parallel.
Answer:
a=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply all terms by a and cancel:
6+−6a=3+−3a
−6a+6=−3a+3(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−6a+6+3a=−3a+3+3a(Add 3a to both sides)
−3a+6=3
−3a+6−6=3−6(Subtract 6 from both sides)
−3a=−3
−3a
−3
=
−3
−3
(Divide both sides by -3)
a=1

Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4x+2=-5/8x-5
Add 5/8 x to each side
1/4x + 5/8 x+2=-5/8x + 5/8x-5
1/4x + 5/8x +2 = -5
Subtract 2 from each side
1/4x + 5/8x +2-2 = -5-2
1/4x + 5/8x = -7
Get a common denominator of 8
1/4 *2/2 x + 5/8x = -7
2/8x + 5/8x = -7
7/8x = -7
Multiply each side by 8/7
8/7 * 7/8x = -7*8/7
x = -8
Answer:
5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
15 divided by 3 equal 5
24 divided by 3 equal 8
Therefore, 15/24 simplified to lowest terms is 5/8.
