Question 935581: Tell whether the lines for the pair of equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither?
y=-2/3x +1
2x-3y=-3

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = (-2/3)x + 1
2x - 3y = -3
-3y = -2x - 3
y = (-2/-3)x - (3/-3)
y = (2/3)x + 1

the lines are intersecting (and therefore not parallel), but not perpendicular

answer:
neither
