Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Classify the Lines**
Line 1 has the equation \( y = 3x + 5 \).
Line 2 has the equation \( y - 4 = 3(x - 2) \).
**Options:**
- ○ intersecting but not perpendicular
- ○ coinciding
- ○ perpendicular
- ○ parallel
To determine the relationship between these two lines, solve for the equation of Line 2:
1. Expand Line 2's equation:
\( y - 4 = 3(x - 2) \)
\( y - 4 = 3x - 6 \)
Add 4 to both sides:
\( y = 3x - 2 \)
2. Compare the equations:
- Line 1: \( y = 3x + 5 \)
- Line 2: \( y = 3x - 2 \)
Since both lines have the same slope of 3 and different y-intercepts, they are parallel.
