Question

Are the graphs of the lines in the pair parallel? Explain.

y = {x - 17
4x - 5y = -6
No, since the slopes are different.
No, since the y-intercepts are different.
Yes, since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different.
Yes, since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are the same.

Answer 1

Explanation:

you have two functions:

y=x-17

and

y=4/5x+6/5

These lines are not parallel because they have different slopes.
