3x+2y=6 and y=-3/2x+5

In order to solve for parallel, perpendicular, or neither, you have to look at the slope.

If the slope is the same for both equations, it is most likely parallel.
If it's the reciprocal (Where you flip the number and add change the signs. For example, the reciprocal of 1/2 is -2)
If the slope is not the same or the reciprocal, then it is neither. 

So for the first equation, your slope is:
3x+2y=6
2y=-3x+6
y=-3/2x+3      The equation y=mx+b can help you here, where m is the slope.
Your slope is -3/2

For the second equation, your slope is -3/2 since y=-3/2x+5 is already in y=mx+b form and m is the slope.

Since both slopes are -3/2, then you have parallel equations!

(Be careful though, sometimes it will have the same slope but there will also be the same y-intercept. If that happens, it's no longer parallel, but it's the same equation. Such as y=-3/2x+1 and y=-3/2x+1. In this case there will be infinite solutions, but parallel equations have no solutions.)

I hope this helps!! Please ask if you have more questions!

Which expression is equivalent to 3b-1?<br> 5b+3-6-6-4<br> 5b+3-2b-5<br> 26-5+b-4<br> b+b-5-5b+4
vesna_86 [32]
Answer:

5b+3-b-b-4

Explanation:

First, you’ll do 5b-b-b which will become 5b-2b and equals 3b. Then 3-4 equals -1.
When simplified, you get 3b-1

A runner ran at a steady rate, stopped to retie their shoes, and then ran at a steady rate again, this time slower than they ran
daser333 [38]
The First Graph represents the situation.
The runner goes a lot of distance in a short amount of time (Demonstrated by the steep incline of the first portion). When the runner is tying their shoe, the distance remains the same, thus eliminating the second graph and the last graph because the last graph doesn't show the beginning of the problem. Finally, we know that the runner is slower after tying their shoe, this means the incline of the line would be far less as steep (Meaning the slope would be smaller). The only graph that depicts all of these, is the first one.

I Hope this Helps!
