#"No"#

Explanation:

#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.

#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#

#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#

#"rearrange "2x-3y=4" into this form"#

#rArry=2/3x-4/3larr" with "m=2/3#

#"calculate the slope of the line passing through the 2 "#
#"given points"#

#"to calculate m use the "color(blue)"gradient formula"#

#•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#

#"let "(x_1,y_1)=(-1,-2)" and "(x_2.y_2)=(-4.1)#

#rArrm=(1-(-2))/(-4-(-1))=3/(-3)=-1#

#"since the 2 lines have different slopes they will not be "#
#"coincident"#
