Equations are never parallel, but their graphs may be.
-- Write both equations in "standard" form [ y = mx + b ]
-- The graphs of the two equations are parallel if 'm' is the same number in both of them.

By looking at two linear equations how can you tell that the corresponding lines are parallel?
By looking st two linear equations you can tell that the corresponding lines are parallel when the slope is the same. The slope controls where the line is.
If two linear equations are in standard form how can you tell that the graphs are parellel?
If the slopes are the same on both graphs, they are parallel, and will never touch.
What is true about a system of two linear equations that has no solution?
The two equations represent parallel lines.
How do you identify two linear equations that are parallel using slopes of two lines?
Two linear equations that are parallel with have the sameslope, or the m value in y = mx + b will be the same.For example, y = 3x + 5 is parallel to y = 3x - 6
If a system of linear equations has no solution then the graph of the two equationsmust be what kind of line?
parallel
How can you tell if two equations are parallel?
if they have the same slope If two linear equations are inconsistent - that is, have no solution, then the graphs would be parallel and have the same slope if their slope is defined. Example: x + y = 1 x + y = 2 Example with no slope: x = 1 x = 2
How can we tell if two lines are parallel perpendicular or neither just from their equations?
If the slope of the equations are the same then they are parallel If the slope of the equations are minus reciprocal then they are perpendicular If the slope of the equations are different then they are neither
What is the definition of Simultaneous Linear Equations?
A system of linear equations is two or more simultaneous linear equations. In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of linear equations involving the same set of variables.
What makes two linear equations either parallel or perpendicular to each other?
Depending on the value of the slope or gradient if its the same then they are parallel if its a reciprocal then they are perpendicular.
Are linear equations and functions different?
All linear equations are functions but not all functions are linear equations.
What is the difference between a linear quadratic and a quadratic quadratic?
There is no quadratic equation that is 'linear'. There are linear equations and quadratic equations. Linear equations are equations in which the degree of the variable is 1, and quadratic equations are those equations in which the degree of the variable is 2.
Where the given equations are not linear?
Equations are not linear when they are quadratic equations which are graphed in the form of a parabola
