a student wrote the following equations:
3y + 6 = 2x
2y - 3x = 6
the lines represented by these equations are
a) parallel b) the same line c) perpendicular d) intersecting,but not perpendicular
D because when you put the eqation in y=mx+b form they have reciprical slope but they are not also opposite sign (-,+) so the anser is D
+130517 3y + 6 = 2x → 3y = 2x - 6 → y = (2/3)x - 2
2y - 3x = 6 → 2y = 3x + 6 → y = (3/2)x + 3
So...as Anonymous has said....the slopes are reciprocals, but not negative reciprocals...so this system has a single solution...... the lines intersect, but not at right angles.
