14. Holt McDougal Geometry 3-6 Lines in the Coordinate Plane Determine whether the lines are parallel, intersect, or coincide. Example 3A: Classifying Pairs of Lines y = 3x + 7, y = –3x – 4 The lines have different slopes, so they intersect.

15. Holt McDougal Geometry 3-6 Lines in the Coordinate Plane Check It Out! Example 3 Determine whether the lines 3x + 5y = 2 and 3x + 6 = -5y are parallel, intersect, or coincide. Both lines have the same slopes but different y-intercepts, so the lines are parallel. Solve both equations for y to find the slope- intercept form. 3x + 5y = 2 5y = –3x + 2 3x + 6 = –5y
