Solve each for y in terms of x. Are the equations identical? What is the slope of each?

If the equations are equivalent, then "congruent". If slopes are the same but equations not equivalent, then parallel; if slopes are negative reciprocals, then perpendicular. "Skew" is not applicable in the restricted two dimensions of just x and y.
