Answer:

the slopes are different, and the y-intercepts are also different

Explanation:

We can rewrite the equations given in slope-intercept to easily determine the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b). Slope-intercept equation is y = mx + b

Let's rewrite each equation:

✔️5x + 2y = 2

Subtract 5x from each side

2y = -5x + 2

Divide both sides by 2

y = -5x/2 + 2/2

y = -⁵/2(x) + 1

The slope (m) = -⁵/2

y-intercept (b) = 1

✔️3x - 3y = 18

Subtract 3x from each side

-3y = -3x + 18

Divide both sides by -3

y = -3x/-3 + 18/-3

y = x - 6

Slope (m) = 1

y-intercept (b) = -6

✅Therefore, the slopes are different and the y-intercepts are also different
