Parallel lines have the same slope.
You can determine the slope of a line if it is in slope-intercept form, which both of these equations are.
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:
y=mx+b
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept value.
Equation 1) y = 2 3 x - 2
Equation 2) y = 3 2 x + 1
The slope of the first equation is m = 2 3 and the slope of the second equation is m = 3 2 , They are not equal and therefore they are not parallel.
