Determine the slope and y intercept for d1: -2x+3y+1=0 d2: 2x-3y+1=0

We'll put the equation of d1 in the standard
form:


y=mx + n, where the
coefficients represent:


- m - the
slope


- n - y
intercept


-2x+3y+1=0


We'll
isolate 3y to the left
side:


3y=2x-1


We'll divide
by 3 both sides:


y=(2x/3) -
1/3


The standard form of the equation
is:


y=(2x/3) -
1/3


The slope of the line d1
is m = 2/3 and the y intercept is n =
-1/3.


 


We'll
put the equation of d2 in the standard form:


y=mx + n,
where the coefficients represent:


- m - the
slope


- n - y
intercept


2x-3y+1=0


We'll
isolate -3y to the left
side:


-3y=-2x-1


We'll divide
by -3 both sides:


y=(2x/3) +
1/3


The standard form of the equation
is:


y=(2x/3) +
1/3


The slope of the line d1
is m = 2/3 and the y intercept is n = 1/3.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
