Determine whether the lines
\n" ); document.write( "are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Compare the slopes.
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 7y = 14
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-2/7)x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "slope = -2/7
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( " y + 2/7x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-2/7)x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "slope = -2/7
\n" ); document.write( "====================
\n" ); document.write( "The slopes are the same so the lines are parallel
\n" ); document.write( "==============================
