y=2/3x+7
y=2/3x−5
Pick the number of the statement that best describes how she should determine if they are parallel.
Statement #1: Krystina should verify that the lines have the same slope but different y- intercepts.
Statement #2: Krystina should verify that the lines have the same y-intercept but different slopes.

Statement #
is the best way for Krystina to determine if the lines are parallel
1 answer
The correct choice is:
Statement #1: Krystina should verify that the lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
Lines are parallel if they have the same slope. In this case, both lines have a slope of \( \frac{2}{3} \) but different y-intercepts (7 and -5), which confirms that they are indeed parallel.
