Neither. It is the same line. If you solve both equations for y, you'll see that the slope is the same for both. This USUALLY represents that the lines are parallel, UNLESS the y-intercepts are the same as well, which is the case here. 3x+2y=10 (Subtract the 3x from (3x+2y) to get the 2y alone. Remember, if you do it to one side, you must do it to the other.) 2y=-3x+10 (Divide the 2y by 2 to get the 2y by itself. Remember, if you do it to one side, you must do it to the other.) You are left with y= (-3x/2)+5 6x+4y=20 (Subtract the 6x from the (6x+4y) to get the 4y alone. Remember if you do it to one side, you must do it to the other.) 4y=-6x+20 (Divide the 4y by 4 to get the 4y by itself. Remember, if you do it to one side, you must do it to the other.) You are left with y= (-3x/2)+5
