Question

Decide whether the graphs of the two equations are parallel. y=3x+8 and y/3-3=x

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation #1:

$y = 3x + 8$

Equation #2:

$\frac{y}{3} -3=x\\\\\frac{y}{3}=x+3\\\\y=3(x+3)\\\\y=3x+9$

Parallel equations have the same slope. Since both share the same slope of 3, they're parallel.
