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!

Solve for y. <br> 2x+6y=12
Veronika [31]
2x + 6y = 12

2x - 2x + 6y = 12 - 2x

6y = 12 - 2x

6y/6 = 12/6 - 2x/6

Y = 2 - 2/6 X

Y = 2 - 1/3 X or

Y = -1/3 X + 2.

What is the Line that passes through (2,0) and (0,1)
zimovet [89]

To find the slope you use the equation:

m = (y₂-y₁) ÷ (x₂-x₁)

You plug in the two points into this equation to find m (m is the slope)

m = (1 - 0) ÷ (0 - 2)

m = 1 ÷ (-2)

m = - 1/2

Next you use this equation:

y = mx + b

Because you know m you plug it in.

y = -1/2x + b

Now you need to find b. To do so you plug in either of the points into this equation(you come out with the same answer for b)

y = -1/2x + b

1 = -1/2(0) + b

1 = b

Finally you plug in b and you get your new equation.

y = -1/2x + 1
