I don’t gotta show you no stinking badges or read any stinking guidelines.

That's fine by me. I'll still help you if/when you need help. How do you like them apples?

Just looked it up.

Your posting notation is just pi*s poor. surely you mean $y=\frac{4}{3}x+5~\& ~y=\frac{4}{3}x-17$. If they are not correct pray tell us what is.
Can you tell what the slope of each of those line is? If $m_1$ is the slope of the first line and $m_2$ is the slope of the second line then if $m_1=m_2$ the the two lines are parallel. I on the other-hand if $m_1\cdot m_2=-1$ the lines are perpendicular. (neither line is vertical or horizontal).

Determine if the following lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. justify answer. y=4/3x + 5 and y=4/3x - 17

so y = mx +b
the M or slopes are the same (so they are going to be parallel) but the intercepts are different so they don't intersect.


to prove just make them equal and solve

(4/3)x+5=(4/3)x-17



no solution

so y = mx +b
