Question

Tell whether the lines for then pair of equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither?

y=-2/3x +1

2x-3y=-3

Answer 1

Converting 2x-3y=-3 into slope intercept form gives us:

y= -2/3x+1

This means that these two lines are the same, so this means they are neither parallel or perpendicular

Answer 2

thank you

Answer 3

Your welcome :)

Answer 4

Lucina's conclusion is correct, but based on an incorrect result.

The slope of the first line is -2/3
the slope of the 2nd line is 2/3

so they are neither parallel nor parallel

Lucina stated that their slopes were equal, if they had been equal, then the lines would have been parallel.

Answer 5

Thank you for the help. I needed it on a worksheet problem and I was stuck on this for hours. Thank you!
