3. Two of the lines below are parallel. Which two? Justify your answer.

y= 3x - 5 y=-3x + 7 y - 3x = -12 y + 1/3x=8​

hello!

Parallel lines have the same slope.

So if we're asked to identify a pair of parallel lines, we can just take a look at the slope (the number before x)

The first one is y=3x-5. Okay.

The second one is y=-3x+7. So the second line isn't parallel to the first line.

The third line is y-3x=12, or y=3x+12.

So the 3rd line is parallel to the 1st line :)

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I'll comment and/or edit my answer :)
