Question

Classify the lines:

-3x + y = -1
-6x + 2y = 8

A) Parallel
B) Perpendicular
C) Neither Parallel or Perpendicular
D) Skew

Answer 1

A) Parallel

Explanation:

So let’s put them into y intercept form. So y=3x-1 and 2y=6x+8 or y=3x+4. Since they both have the same slope, they are parallel.
