Solve each for y in terms of x. Are the equations identical? What is the slope of each?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "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.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
