Question

The linsz represented by the equation y=3x+5 and 5y-15x=-10 are

Answer 1

The first equation is given in slope-intercept form but the second equation is not; so, let us convert the second equation to the slope-intercept form.

In the equation

`5y-15x=18`

adding 15x to both sides gives

`5y=15x+18`

and then dividing both sides by 5 gives

`y=3x+(18)/(5)`

This equation has exactly the same equation as y = 3x + 5; therefore, the two lines are parallel.
