The equation of the line L1 is y=3x–2. The equation of the line L2 is 3y–9x+5=0. Show that these two lines are parallel.

We should recall that two lines are parallel when they have the same gradient. We can see the gradient of a line by writing it in the form y=mx+c, which will make the gradient equal to the coefficient of ...
