Question

Determine if the equations represent lines that are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Equation 1: 14x=2y-6 Equation 2: 8/7 =y-7x

Answer 1

Parallel

Explanation

Put into y=mx+b

Equation 1:

14x=2y-6

add 6

14x+6=2y

Divide by 2

7x+3=y

Equation 2:

8/7=y-7x

add 7x

7x+8/7=y

Look at the slope of each equation (the x)

1: 7x and 2. 7x

The slopes are the same so the lines are parallel
