The equations are .
Rewrite the equation 1: in the slope - intercept form or
where m is slope and b is y - intercept. \ \
Divide each side by 8.
\Cancel common terms.
\The slope of is
and y - intercept is
.
Rewrite the equation 2: in the slope - intercept form or
where m is slope and b is y - intercept. \ \
Divide each side by 24.
\Cancel common terms.
\The slope of is
and y - intercept is
.
The two lines have same slopes but different y - intercept, so these are parallel lines.
\The option J is correct answer.
