Yes!!! you're correct...

they're parallel... because they have the same slope...
y=-2x-2
y=-2x+(3/2)

so, if you figure out the distance between the y-intercepts... you get 7/2... which is the answer...

hope this helps...

I've done way too many drugs to even begin thinking of the possibility of me starting to want to solve that equation.
