Answer:

The lines are parallel

Explanation:

y = 3x - 12

2y = 6x + 4

Parallel lines have the same slope, perpendicular lines have inverse slopes, and other lines have no correlation in the slopes.

We can simplify the second equation

2y/2=(6x+4)/2

y=3x+2

You can now see that both lines have the same slope, meaning that they are parallel.

y = 3x - 12

y = 3x + 2

Identify each pair of lines as parallel, perpendicular, or neither. 3. y = 3x - 12 2y-example-1
