Answer:

Explanation:

4x - 2y = -5

-2y = -4x - 5

y = 2x + 5/2.....slope here is 2

-2x + 3y = -3

3y = 2x - 3

y = 2/3x - 1.....slope here is 2/3

NONE OF THE ABOVE.....they are not the same line....they are not parallel because they dont have the same slope....they are not perpendicular because they do not have negative reciprocal slopes

Answer:

this would be none of the above.

Explanation:

its not equal because when solving, x and y isnt the same for both equations.

i cant explain the rest, my apologies but if u use a website called *desmos* you can put up equations and itll graph them for you. :3
