Question

Show that the lines

y = 4x + 2 and 8x + 2y = -3 are parallel

help pls asap ty ! ! !

Answer 1

They intersect

Explanation:

We can determine from their equations whether two lines are parallel by comparing their slopes. If the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different, the lines are parallel. If the slopes are different, the lines are not parallel.

Here we have two functions:

1) y = 4x + 2

2) 8x + 2y = - 3

2y = - 8x - 3

// divide both sides by 2

y = - 4x - 1,5

- 4 ≠ 4 , so these lines aren't parallel, maybe you wrote the assignment incorrect (e. g. if there would be " - " before 8 in the second function, those lines would be parallel), here they intersect.
