The given equations are

6x - 12y = -24

3y = 2x + 18

We would solve for y in both equations

For 6x - 12y = -24,

12y = 6x + 24

Dividing both sides by 12, it becomes

12y/12 = 6x/12 + 24/12

y = x/2 + 2

For 3y = 2x + 18,

Dividing both sides by 3, it becomes

3y/3 = 2x/3 + 18/3

y = 2x/3 + 6

The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is

y = mx + c

where m is the slope

By comparing both equations, the slopes are different. They are not negative reciprocals of each other. Thus, they are not perpendicular or parallel. Thus, the lines intersect
