Answer:
Explanation:
Given lines:
- - 6x + 3y = -9 and
- y + 1 = -3(x + 2)
To determine the answer we need to compare slopes of the lines.
Parallel lines have same slopes, perpendicular lines have negative-reciprocal slopes.
Let's put them in slope-intercept form:
- - 6x + 3y = -9 ⇒ -2x + y = - 3 ⇒ y = 2x - 3
- y + 1 = -3(x + 2) ⇒ y + 1 = -3x - 6 ⇒ y = -3x - 7
As we see the slopes are 2 and -3, so the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular
