Q:

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.
