b. parallel
c. neither perpendicular nor parallel

dumbcow · Answer

first find the slope of each line

dumbcow · Answer

y=mx +b
m = slope

anonymous · Answer

-3/2 and -2/3?

dumbcow · Answer

yes, good
parallel means they are the same
perpendicular means they multiply to -1

since this is false for these slopes then the 2 lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular

Oh I see. Thanks for explaining dumbcow. Haha nice username
