Asked by Steve
                Tell whether the lines for then pair of equations are parallel, perpendicular,  or neither?
y=-2/3x +1
2x-3y=-3
            
        y=-2/3x +1
2x-3y=-3

    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
    
y= -2/3x+1
This means that these two lines are the same, so this means they are neither parallel or perpendicular

    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.

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