Answer:

A. Yes, they have the same slope and a different y-intercept.

Explanation:

Equation of line is given as y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Rearrange 3x + y = 6 to y = mx + c form.

y = -3x + 6

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Since slope of both lines is -3, the lines are parallel.
