Question

Which of the following best describes the relationship between these lines? 2x + 3y = - 24 and y=2/3x-24

a)parallel
b)perpendicular
c)cannot be determined
d)none of these

Answer 1

2x + 3y = -24
3y = -2x - 24
y = -2/3x - 6....slope is -2/3, y int is -6

y = 2/3x - 24....slope = 2/3, y int = -24

** different slopes, different y intercepts means there will be 1 solution.....they are not parallel or perpendicular.

answer is : none of these
