Question

Examine the two distinct lines defined by the following two equations in slope-intercept form.

line ℓ: y=34x+6
line k: y=34x−7
Are lines ℓ and k parallel? Justify your response.

1.Yes, lines ℓ and k are parallel because their slopes are equal.

2.No, lines ℓ and k are not parallel because their slopes are not equal.

3.No, lines ℓ and k are not parallel because their slopes are proportional.

4.Yes, lines ℓ and k are parallel because their slopes are proportional.

Answer 1

m = 34 for both. Same slope, m, means parallel

Answer 2

the answer is A, for anyone who might be confused

Answer 3

Examine the two distinct lines defined by the following two equations in slope-intercept form.

line ℓ: y=34x+6
line k: y=34x−7
