The problem goes like this:

The straight lines ε1: y=(a-4)x+a and ε2: y=(14-2a)x-a-2 are parallel.

A question) FIND THE NUMBER a

B question) Find The points of intersection of the lines with the axes

Oh

worthy sonnet Jan 14, 2023, 5:15 PM

#

hint: what does parallel mean?

#

Parallel lines

worthy sonnet Jan 14, 2023, 5:16 PM

#

||a-4=14-2a||

#

They never touch each other

worthy sonnet Jan 14, 2023, 5:16 PM

#

so what does it say about their slopes

#

this is very much not calculus btw

proper mirage Jan 14, 2023, 5:17 PM

#

Wait what do u mean

#

Ik but there is no other category to put it

worthy sonnet Jan 14, 2023, 5:17 PM

#

proper mirage Jan 14, 2023, 5:17 PM

#

Yh..

#

So any ideas?

worthy sonnet Jan 14, 2023, 5:18 PM

#

the hint should be enough

#

i have an even bigger hint in the spoiler tag

proper mirage Jan 14, 2023, 5:18 PM

#

In this type of problem parallel also means

#

λ1=λ2

#

Put idk how to connect these informations

#

Ok so 3a=18

#

So a =6?

#

Is that right ?

#

@worthy sonnet and if so ε1:=2x+6?
