The answer is: "No; they are not parallel."

Explanation:
_____________________________________________
Given:

y = 6x + 9 ; AND

27x - 3y = -81 ;
__________________
We need to rewrite:
__________________
" 27x - 3y = -81" ; in "slope-intercept form"; that is:
" y = mx + b" ; and see if the "slope, "m" ; is the same as: "y = 6x + 9" ; or "6";
(that is, whether "m = 6"; when an equation is written is "slope-intercept form", the slope, "m", is the coefficient of "x"; and we are given an equation that is already written in: "slope-intercept form":
__________________________________
" y = 6x + 9 " ; in which, the slope, "m", = "6".
___________________________________
If we can write the other equation given:
__________________________________
" 27x - 3y = -81 " ; in "slope-intercept form"; and "m = 6"; (the same slope), then both equations are "parallel" to each other.
_________________________________________
Given:
______
27x - 3y = -81 ;
_____________________
Let us write this in "slope-intercept form" ;
_____________________________________
Let us multiply the ENTIRE equation (both sides) by "-1"; to get rid of most of the 'negatives' :
________________________________
-1* {27x - 3y = -81} ;
__________________________
to get:
______________________________
-27x + 3y = 81 ;
______________________________
Now, add "27x" to EACH SIDE of the equation:
___________________________________
-27x + 3y + 27x = 81 + 27x ;
_____________________________________
to get: 3y = 81 + 27x ; ↔ 3y = 27x + 81;
_______________________________________
Now, divide the ENTIRE EQUATION (both sides) by "3"; to isolate "y" on the left-hand side of the equation; and to re-write the equation in "slope-intercept form:
______________________________________________________
3y / 3 = (27x + 81) / 3 ;
________________________
y = 9x + 27 ;
_________________________
So, y = mx + b ; m = "9"; which is not "6" ;
____________________________________
So the answer is: "No; they are not parallel."

No. The equations can be solved for x and y and so they are not parallel.
x = -6 y= -27

Answer:

When you have two sets of data, one that represents an independent variable (X) and another that represents a dependent variable (Y) (it is a response of the first variable). A diagram called scatterplot can be generated to present the ordered pairs (X, Y) in the Cartesian plane to see how the two variables are related.

In this case the independent variable (X) is the age variable of the calf and the dependent variable (Y) is the weight of the calf.

The diagram can be seen in the attached file.
