False
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given as;
y = mx + b
where:
• m is the ,slope
,• b is the ,y-intercept
For two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope and for them to be perpendicular, the product of their slope must be -1.
Given the equations below;
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=3x+7 \\ y=-\frac{1}{3}x-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]From the equations, you can see that the equations does not have the same slope, therefore they are not parallel. The statement that the lines are parallel is FALSE
