Are these two lines paralell, perpendicular or neither

Question

y= -2/9x - 5 and 2x+9y=18

pls help

im in algebra 1

Answer 1

The second line is:

9y = 18 - 2x

y = 2 - (2/9)x

The slopes of both lines are -2/9

so they are parallel

Answer 2

The second equation becomes y = 2 - (2/9)x.

The two lines have the same slope but different y- intercepts; therefore, they are parallel.
