Question

Are the graphs of the lines in the pair parallel? Explain. y = 4x – 4 24x – 4y = 96

A)No, since the y-intercepts are different.

B) Yes, since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are the same.

C)Yes, since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different.

D)No, since the slopes are different.

Answer 1

The answer is no, because they do not have the same slope.

Answer 2

No, since the slopes are different

for 1 line
y = 4x - 4

slope = 4

for 2 line
4y = 24x - 96
slope = 24/4 = 6
