O land I

Respuesta :

Given:

The equations are

[tex]5y=2x-5[/tex]

[tex]5y=4+3x[/tex]

[tex]5y-3x=-1[/tex]

To find:

The two parallel lines.

Solution:

Slope intercept form of a line is

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Isolate variable y in each of the given equations, to get the slope intercept form of the lines.

The slope intercept forms of given lines are

[tex]y=\dfrac{2}{5}x-1[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{4}{5}+\dfrac{3}{5}x[/tex]

[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{3}{5}x[/tex]

On comparing these equations with slope intercept form, we get

Slope of I line = [tex]\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

Slope of II line = [tex]\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

Slope of III line = [tex]\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

Slope of parallel lines are equal. So, lines II and III are parallel because their slopes are equal.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
