Particularly in your situation, you are looking linear equation in the two variables x and y.

Examples: &

Following Slope-Intercept Form, :
--->
--->

*It shows, --> the two lines are PARALLEL

To check,
In Eqn 1, let Fy=0:
---> , X-intercept
Let Fx=0:
---> , Y-intercept

In Eqn 2: let Fy=0:
---> , X-intercept
Let Fx=0:
---> , Y-intercept
---> When you see the Slope (m) of one linear equation equals to the other eqn, they are parallel.

Thank you,
Jojo
