Answer 1

Answer:

Gradient of Line A: 0.75

Gradient of Line B: 0.8

Therefore the lines ARE NOT parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the gradient (slope) of line A and B respectively.

Line A Gradient:

Equation of line A is 3x - 4y = 5

Rewrite this in slope-intercept form as y = mx + b, where m is the gradient (slope).

Thus,

3x - 4y - 3x = -3x + 5

-4y = -3x + 5

Divide both sides by -4

y = ¾x + ⁵/4

The gradient = ¾ = 0.75

Line B Gradient:

Gradient of line passing through (4, 7) and (-1, 3)

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{3 - 7}{-1 - 4} = \frac{-4}{-5} = \frac{4}{5}$

Gradient (m) = ⅘ = 0.8

Since both lines do not have the same gradient, therefore the lines are not parallel.
