ian gone lie this got me confused

step-by-step explanation:

i would say b) is your answer

sorry if im wrong

step-by-step explanation:

none.

step-by-step explanation:

m

1

=

5

m1=5

b

=

−

1

b=-1

find the slope and y-intercept of the second equation.

m

2

=

0

m2=0

b

=

−

6

b=-6

compare the slopes

m

m of the two equations.

m

1

=

5

,

m

2

=

0

m1=5,m2=0

compare the two slopes in the decimal form. if the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. if the slopes are not equal, then the lines are not parallel.

m

1

=

5

,

m

2

=

0

m1=5,m2=0

then
