Question

Can someone answer this?

Answer 1

Answer: No.

Explanation:

To find if the lines are parallel, we need to know both of the slopes.

The first line is written closesly to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), so our slope is
`(2)/(3)`.

The second line is given in points. To find the slope, we can use the slope formula. You can see from the work, that the slope of this line is
`(3)/(2)`.

`\displaystyle (y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) ) =(3-0)/(8-6) =(3)/(2)`

Since these lines have two different slopes, they are not parallel. We can also see this with graphing, see attached.
