Explanation

Answer: C

PROBLEM

Line L1 is y = 3x + 2, L2 is y = 3x - 5. Are they parallel, perpendicular, or neither?

Line L1 is y = 3x + 2, L2 is y = 3x - 5. Are they parallel, perpendicular, or neither?

A.

same line

B.

neither

C.

parallel

✓ Correct
D.

perpendicular

Detailed Explanation

Choice C is the best answer. Same slope = 3, so parallel

Why others are wrong:
A: same line is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
B: neither is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
D: perpendicular is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
