For the line to be parallel, their slopes have to be the same
To find their slopes let us bring the lines to the slope intercept form
ie y = mx + b where m is the slope
8x – 4y = 16
4y = 8x – 16, ie y = 2x – 4 ( this has a slope = 2)
The other line is
5y – 10x = 3 ie 5y = 10x + 3 ; ie y = 2x + (3/5) ( This also has a slope =2)
Answer: Since both lines have the same slopes( m = 2) these lines are parallel
