Question 640673: Give the slope of each line and then determine whether they are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
2x+3y=3
5x+7y=0

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x+3y=3 --> y+=+%28-2%2F3%29x+%2B+1, the slope is -2/3
5x+7y=0 --> y+=+%28-5%2F7%29x, the slope is -5/7.
The lines are not parallel because the slopes are not equal.
The lines are not perpendicular because the product of the slopes is not equal to -1.
Answer: neither
