The equation of line 1 is y=3x-2 and the equation of line 2 is 3y-9x+5=0. Show the two lines are parallel.

The two lines are parallel if they have the same gradient, so for a line in the form y=mx+c, m of the two lines must be the same.Line 1 is already in this form so we need to rearrange line 2 to be in this...
