Question

Question 1
Mick is trying to determine whether the following two lines are parallel
Y= 2/3x + 7
Y= 2/3x -2

Which statement correctly describes the approach Mick should take based on the best reasoning?
Statement #1: Mick says he should verify that the lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
Statement #2: Mick says he should verify that the lines have the same y-intercepts but different slope

Correct answer Statement #1 describes the approach Randy should take based on the best reasoning.

Question 2
Randy is trying to determine whether the following two lines are perpendicular.
y= 2/3x + 7
y= 2/3x - 2
