find the slpes

if they are, then they are paralell

y=mx+b
m=slope
y=2/3x-17
slope=2/3


the other slope
in form ax+by=c
slope=-a/b
4x-6y=-6
-4/-6=2/3

2/3=2/3
the lines aer paralell

Rosie

Lines are parallel if their slopes are the same.
Write each equation in the form y = mx + c.
If m is the same the two lines are parallel.

So write the equations using y=mx+b

y=2/3x-17 is already in that form
4x-6y=-6 is not.
To get that equation in the formula, subtract 4x from both sides so the -6y=-4x-6.
Next divide by -6 so that y= -4/-6x+1
hopethis gives alot of information :)
