I swear it's the last one:-)My problem is:               Use the equations of the lines to determine if they're parallel.   y=0.15x+0.79, 0.11x-y=o.85.                                                    I would be greatful if someone could show me how this is done, no matter how much I read and study, I still don't get it. Again Than-x and Have a Good Easter. </SPAN>\n" );
