Question

Are the lines below parallel, perpendicular, or neither?

2y=3x-42y=3x−4
y=\frac{2}{3}x-3y=
3
2
​
x−3


Parallel


Neither


Perpendicular

Answer 1

Neither

2y = 3x - 4

y = 2/3x - 3

Explanation:

Parallel means the lines never cross. These two lines cross. Perpendicular means they cross and form a 90° angle.

Answer 2

• Neither

Explanation:

Given lines

• 2y=3x-4 ⇒ y = 3/2x - 4
• y= 2/3x - 3

The lines have different slope so they intersect but they are not perpendicular as perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes

So the answer choice is neither
