Hi

Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b

  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  

Determine whether each pair of equations represents parallel lines.

parallel Lines have identical slopes

3x=5y-2    OR  y = (3/5)x + 2/5

10y=4-6x   OR  y = (-6/10)x + 4/10  OR  y = (-3/5)x + 2/5

Lines are NOT parallel
