These lines are parallel. Is this statement true or false? y =-2 3x + 8 y =2 3x − 5 A. true B. false

This statement would be false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations have slopes that are positive and negative. Therefore, we know that they will intersect at some point because the slopes are not the same. In fact, they intersect at the point (9 3/4, 1 1/2).

I have attached an image of the graph of these two equations for your reference.

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
