The line equation in slope-intercept form is $\"\"$ , where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Write the equation 2 in slop-intercept form $\"\"$ . $\"\"$

Next find the slope of the equations.

Slope of the first equation is $\"\"$ 2.

Slope of the second equation is $\"\"$ 2. $\"\"$

If two lines are parallel, their slopes must be equal.

Slopes of the lines are equal. So, the lines are parallel. $\"\"$

The lines are parallel.
