Answer: 2/3 is the slope I think and for the same slope thing here is my answer:

We can use similarly of triangles in this case there will be a formation of 2 pairs equal ( angles formed by the y-axis on the parallel lines) angles between triangles formed as the y-axis lines are parallel. So,the slope is the same for both.

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

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it convenient to let a graphing calculator draw the graph (attached).

If you're drawing the graph by hand, there are a couple of strategies that can be useful.

The first equation is almost in slope-intercept form. Dividing it by 2 will put it in that form:

y = 2x -4

This tells you that the y-intercept, (0, -4) is a point on the graph, as is the point that is up 2 and right 1 from there: (1, -2). A line through those points completes the graph.

The second equation is in standard form, so the x- and y-intercepts are easily found. One way to do that is to divide by the constant on the right to get ...

x/2 +y/3 = 1

The denominators of the x-term and the y-term are the x-intercept and the y-intercept, respectively. If that is too mind-bending, you can simply set x=0 to find the y-intercept:

0 +2y = 6

y = 6/2 = 3

and set y=0 to find the x-intercept

3x +0 = 6

x = 6/3 = 2

Plot the intercepts and draw the line through them for the graph of this equation.

Here, we have suggested graphing strategies that don't involve a lot of manipulation of the equations. The idea is to get there as quickly as possible with a minimum of mistakes.
