9.
Are the graphs of the lines in the pair parallel? Explain.

y = 5x + 6
–18x + 3y = –54

A. Yes, since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are the same.

B. No, since the y-intercepts are different.

C. No, since the slopes are different.

D. Yes, since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different.

Answer:

C. No, since the slopes are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore we only need to compare the slopes of the two lines. Put them both in y=mx + b form so slope is easy to determine. The slopes are different, so the lines are not parallel.

Parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore we only need to compare the slopes of the two lines. Put them both in y=mx + b form so slope is easy to determine.  

 

y = 5x + 6 has a slope of 5

 

-18x + 3y = -54

+18x           +18x

 

3y = 18x - 54

 

Divide both sides by 3 to get

 

y = 6x - 18  

 

The slopes are different, so the lines are not parallel.
