Chapter 4: Q. 358 (page 522)

In the following exercises, use slopes and y-intercepts to determine if the lines are parallel.

y=-4;y=3

Short Answer

Expert verified

The lines are parallel.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The given equations are shown below:

y=-4y=3

02

Determine the slope

When two points have the same y-value, it means they lie on a horizontal line. The slope of such line is 0.

Both the equations represents the horizontal lines.

Hence,m1=m2=0.

03

Write the conclusion

The lines are parallel.
