To determine whether the pairs of lines are parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting, we need to analyze their slopes based on the equations provided.

  1. For the first pair:

    • \( y - 6 = 14(x + 2) \)

      • Rearranging gives: \[ y = 14x + 28 + 6 -> y = 14x + 34 \]
      • The slope of the first line is \( m_1 = 14 \).
    • \( y = -4x - 10 \)

      • The slope of the second line is \( m_2 = -4 \).
    • Since the slopes \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are neither equal (which would indicate parallel lines) nor the product of the slopes equals -1 (which would indicate perpendicular lines), these lines are intersecting.

  2. For the second pair:

    • \( 2x - y = 7 \)

      • Rearranging gives: \[ y = 2x - 7 \]
      • The slope of the first line is \( m_1 = 2 \).
    • \( 3x - 4y = -8 \)

      • Rearranging gives: \[ 4y = 3x + 8 \implies y = \frac{3}{4}x + 2 \]
      • The slope of the second line is \( m_2 = \frac{3}{4} \).
    • Since \( m_1 \cdot m_2 = 2 \cdot \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{2} \), which is not -1, and the slopes are not equal, these lines are also intersecting.

  3. For the third pair:

    • \( y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 7 \)

      • The slope is \( m_1 = -\frac{2}{3} \).
    • \( -2x - 3y = 12 \)

      • Rearranging gives: \[ 3y = -2x - 12 \implies y = -\frac{2}{3}x - 4 \]
      • The slope of the second line is \( m_2 = -\frac{2}{3} \).
    • Since \( m_1 \) is equal to \( m_2 \), the lines are parallel.

In summary:

  • The first pair is intersecting.
  • The second pair is intersecting.
  • The third pair is parallel.
