The equations are \"\" and  \"\"

\

The Slope-intercept form of line equation is \"\".

\

where \"\" is the slope and \"\" is the \"\"-intercept.

\

Find the slope.

\

\"\"

\

Here, the slope is \"\".\"\"

\

Write the second equation in slope-intercept form.

\

\"\"                         (Original equation)

\

\"\"        (Subtract \"\" from each side)

\

\"\"                     (Apply additive inverse property : \"\")

\

Find the slope.

\

\"\".

\

Here, the slope is \"\".

\

Slope of the first equation is \"\".

\

Slope of the second equation is \"\".

\

\"\"

\

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes must be equal. (Or)

\

If two lines are said to be perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to \"\".

\

Here in this case the two slopes are equal, hence they are parallel.

\

\"\"

\

The lines are parallel.
