3x+2y=4
The lines are
A. neither
B. perpendicular
C. parallel
..
To find whether the pair of lines is parallel, perpendicular, or neither,
change each equation to standard form, y=mx+b, where m=slope, and b, y-intercept.
..
3x+2y=8
2y=-3x+8
y=-3x/2+4
..
3x+2y=4
2y=-3x+4
y=-3x/2+2
..
Both lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, they are parallel to each other.
