Question

In the graph to the right, are lines L, and L2 parallel? ExplainChoose the correct answer belowO A. No, lines L, and L2 are not parallel because they have different slopesOB. No, lines Ly and L2 are not parallel because they have the same slope.O c. Yes, lines L, and L2 are parallel because they have the same slope.OD. Yes, lines Ly and Ly are parallel because they have different slopes.

Answer 1

To answer this question we have to calculate the slopes of each line and compare them:

slope= m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

For line 1 we have:

(x1,y1)= (0,5)

(x2,y2)= (6,2)

REplacing:

m= (2-5)/(6-0) = -3/6 = -0.5

For line 2:

(x1,y1)= (-6,1)

(x2,y2)= (0,-1)

Replacing:

m = (-1-1/ 0-(-6)) = -2/6 =
