Which two lines are parallel?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Masteriza [31]3 years ago

Answer:

  • 3x + y = -2
  • 2y = -6x – 8

Step-by-step explanation:

When the equations are written in the same form, the ratio of x coefficient to y coefficient is the same for parallel lines.

These equations in the same form are ...

  • 3x +y = -2
  • -6x +2y = 4
  • 6x +2y = -8

The first and last of these equations have a ratio of x-coefficient to y-coefficient of ...

  (x-coefficient)/(y-coefficient) = 3/1 = 6/2

so the lines are parallel.

The second equation has a ratio that is the opposite of this.

__

<em>Alternate approach</em>

You can put each equation into slope-intercept form (solve for y). The x-coefficient is then the slope of the line. Parallel lines** have equal slopes.

  • y = -3x -2 **
  • y = 3x +2
  • y = -3x -4 **

_____

I find a graphing calculator to be a big help for many problems involving equations and their characteristics.

What is the slope of line segment AB?<br> A) 2/3<br> B) 3/4<br> C) 4/3<br> D) -3/4
Lunna [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the slope of a line is given by:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}

Where:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1})and (x_ {2}, y_ {2})are two points through which the line passes.

According to the image we have:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (-5,3)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (3, -3)

Substituting we have:

m = \frac {-3-3} {3 - (- 5)} = \frac {-6} {3 + 5} = \frac {-6} {8} = - \frac {3} {4}

Thus, the slope of the line is:

m = - \frac {3} {4}

Answer:

m = - \frac {3} {4}
