Question 43798: Help again : 3x - y = 9
2y = 6x - 8
Determine algebraically whether the lines are parallel, perpindicular or neither. state the number solutions.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3x - y = 9
-y = -3x + 9
y = 3x - 9
and
2y = 6x - 8
y = 3x - 4
The slopes are the same, but the y-intercepts are different. The lines are parallel. No solutions exist.
