Asked by Steve

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

y=-2/3x +1

2x-3y=-3

Answered by Lucina
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

thank you

Your welcome :)

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.
