Answer:
yes, they are parallel; the general form equation differs only in the constant.
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract y from the first equation and multiply by 2.
y -y = 1/2x -y +3
0 = x -2y +6
x -2y +6 = 0 . . . . . put in general form
Compared to the second equation, we see the only difference is in the constant, +6 vs. -8.
This means the lines are parallel.

Answer:
BC = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Of course, this geometry program can tell you the length of BC.
__
If you follow directions, you get a right triangle BCF that has leg lengths 3 and 4. The Pythagorean theorem then tells you the length of hypotenuse BC is ...
BF = 4 -1 = 3
FC = 4 -0 = 4
BC² = BF² +FC²
BC² = 3² +4² = 9 +16 = 25
BC = √25
BC = 5
