What do the following equations represent 4x-2y=-5 and 16x-8y=-2A=equal lines B=parallel lines C=perpendicular lines D=none of the above
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The answer to your question is: B = parallel linesStep-by-step explanation:Data 4x - 2y = - 5 (I) 16x - 8y = -2 (II)Find the slopes of both lines(I) 4x - 2y = -5 - 2y = - 4x - 5 y = -4/-2 x - 5/-2 y = 2x + 5/2 slope = 2(II) 16x - 8y = -2 - 8y = -16x - 2 y = -16/-8 x - 2/-8 y = 2x + 1/4 slope = 2As the slopes are the same, they are parallel lines.
