\n" );
document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "Are y = 3/5x-13 and 6x-10y = -9  parallel lines
\n" );
document.write( "Putting the second in the general slope-intercept form of a line:
\n" );
document.write( "y = mx + b so as to see it's slope.
\n" );
document.write( "6x-10y = -9 
\n" );
document.write( "6x - 9 = 10y
\n" );
document.write( "(6/10)x - 9/10 = y  Or
\n" );
document.write( "y = (3/5)x - 9/10 
\n" );
document.write( "these lines are parallel, they have identical slopes 
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
