Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

m = slope and b = y-intercept

The equation is: y = -3x + 6

The m value for this is -3, so the line has a slope of -3. If y = 1/3x - 8 was parallel to y = -3x + 6 then they would have the same slope, which they do not. So they aren't parallel.

The find the slope of a perpendicular line, take the negative reciprocal of the slope of y = -3x + 6. The negative reciprocal of -3 is 1/3.  y = 1/3x - 8 has a slope of 1/3, so they are perpendicular to each other.

k0ka [10]
Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. Computing for the slope of line segment ab and line segment cd using m=(y2-y1)/x2-x1):
m of ab=(2-1)/(2-1)=1         m of cd=<span>(4-3)/(4-3)=1
Since line segment ab and line segment cd have the same slope which is 1, then they are said to be parallel. </span>
