To determine whether the pairs of lines are parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting, we can first convert each equation to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) where m is the slope.

  1. Convert equations to slope-intercept form:

    • For 2x - y = 7: \[ -y = -2x + 7 \implies y = 2x - 7 \quad (m_1 = 2) \]

    • For 3x - 4y = -8: \[ -4y = -3x - 8 \implies y = \frac{3}{4}x + 2 \quad (m_2 = \frac{3}{4}) \]

    • For y - 6 = 14(x + 2): \[ y - 6 = 14x + 28 \implies y = 14x + 34 \quad (m_3 = 14) \]

    • For y = -4x - 10: \[ (m_4 = -4) \]

    • For y = -23x + 7: \[ (m_5 = -23) \]

    • For -2x - 3y = 12: \[ -3y = 2x + 12 \implies y = -\frac{2}{3}x - 4 \quad (m_6 = -\frac{2}{3}) \]

  2. Analyze the slopes for parallelism and perpendicularity:

    • Lines are parallel if their slopes (m) are equal.
    • Lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1 (i.e., \(m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1\)).

  3. Compare the slopes:

  • Lines 1 and 2: \( m_1 = 2 \) and \( m_2 = \frac{3}{4} \) (Intersecting)

  • Lines 1 and 3: \( m_1 = 2 \) and \( m_3 = 14 \) (Intersecting)

  • Lines 1 and 4: \( m_1 = 2 \) and \( m_4 = -4 \) (Intersecting)

  • Lines 1 and 5: \( m_1 = 2 \) and \( m_5 = -23 \) (Intersecting)

  • Lines 1 and 6: \( m_1 = 2 \) and \( m_6 = -\frac{2}{3} \) (Intersecting)

  • Lines 2 and 3: \( m_2 = \frac{3}{4} \) and \( m_3 = 14 \) (Intersecting)

  • Lines 2 and 4: \( m_2 = \frac{3}{4} \) and \( m_4 = -4 \) (Intersecting)

  • Lines 2 and 5: \( m_2 = \frac{3}{4} \) and \( m_5 = -23 \) (Intersecting)

  • Lines 2 and 6: \( m_2 = \frac{3}{4} \) and \( m_6 = -\frac{2}{3} \) (Intersecting)

  • Lines 3 and 4: \( m_3 = 14 \) and \( m_4 = -4 \) (Intersecting)

  • Lines 3 and 5: \( m_3 = 14 \) and \( m_5 = -23 \) (Intersecting)

  • Lines 3 and 6: \( m_3 = 14 \) and \( m_6 = -\frac{2}{3} \) (Intersecting)

  • Lines 4 and 5: \( m_4 = -4 \) and \( m_5 = -23 \) (Intersecting)

  • Lines 4 and 6: \( m_4 = -4 \) and \( m_6 = -\frac{2}{3} \) (Intersecting)

  • Lines 5 and 6: \( m_5 = -23 \) and \( m_6 = -\frac{2}{3} \) (Intersecting)

Summary of pairs: All pairs of the given lines are intersecting since no two lines have the same slope and there are no pairs that are perpendicular (the product of their slopes does not equal -1).

Overall conclusion: All pairs are intersecting.
