these are set up in slope intercept form and so we see that the slope of

\n" ); document.write( "f(x)=(3)x+2 is 3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "f(x)=(1/3)x+4 is 1/3.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "in order for lines to be parallel they have to have equal slopes therefore
\n" ); document.write( "these 2 lines are NOT parallel. \n" ); document.write( "
