-2/3
-3/2
2/3

hartnn · Answer

parallel lines have same slope.

zale101 · Answer

Your question typically says, 2/3 is line k, line m is parallel to line K, @Hartnn gave you a big hint lol

anonymous · Answer

Isn't it -2/3 ?

hartnn · Answer

why -2/3 ? 
slope is same for parallel lines!
 if slope of k is 2/3, then slope of any line parallel to k will also be 2/3 :)

anonymous · Answer

because if it were -2/3 wouldn't it be on the opposite side of 2/3 making it parallel?

hartnn · Answer

slopes of parallel lines are not opposite. they are same. 
slopes of perpendicular lines are actually reciprocal inverse.
here it'll be 2/3 only.

Ah. I see. Thank you, @hartnn (:
