### Orthogonal Graphs of Equations
**Objective:** 
Use a graphing utility to sketch the intersecting graphs of the following equations and determine whether or not the equations are orthogonal. 

**Equations:**
\[2x^2 + y^2 = 6\]
\[y^2 = 4x\]

**Definition:**
Two graphs are orthogonal if at their point(s) of intersection, the tangent lines are perpendicular to each other.

**Graph Description:**
There are four graphs depicted, each containing two curves. In each graph, one curve is an ellipse represented by the equation \(2x^2 + y^2 = 6\) and the other curve is a parabola represented by the equation \(y^2 = 4x\). The focus is on where these curves intersect.

1. **First Graph:**
   - Shows curves intersecting at the origin and another point.
   - Intersection appears to form right angles.
   - Consider this for orthogonality.

2. **Second Graph:**
   - Displays curves intersecting.
   - The intersection does not form right angles.
   - This is likely not orthogonal.

3. **Third Graph:**
   - Shows curves intersecting again.
   - The intersection likely forms right angles indicating orthogonality.

4. **Fourth Graph:**
   - Displays curves intersecting at the origin and another point.
   - Intersection does not form right angles.
   - This is likely not orthogonal.

**Selection Prompt:**
A dropdown menu option exists where you select whether the two equations are orthogonal based on the graphs.

**Conclusion:**
The two equations \(2x^2 + y^2 = 6\) and \(y^2 = 4x\) are likely orthogonal based on the graphs that show intersections forming right angles.

>Select from the options:
The two equations **[Select: are/are not]** orthogonal.
