Answer: B) Parallel because the slopes are the same
==========================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve 6x = 3y + 5 for y
6x = 3y + 5
6x-5 = 3y
3y = 6x-5
y = (6x-5)/3
y = (6x)/3 - (5/3)
y = 2x - (5/3)
This final equation is in the form y = mx+b with m = 2 as the slope and b = -5/3 as the y intercept.
With the equation y = 2x, aka y = 2x+0, the m and b values are m = 2 and b = 0 respectively.
We see that both equations have the same slope (m = 2), but different y intercepts. Therefore, the two lines are parallel. If both y intercepts were the same as well, then we'd be talking about the same identical line.
If the slopes multiplied to -1, then the lines are perpendicular. In any other case, the two lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
