SOLUTION: Which of the following equations represents a line parallel to y = 5x - 7?
9y = 5x + 2
9y -45x = -7
y = 45x - 63
9y = 5x -7

Solve each of the answer equations for 
which is to say put them in slope-intercept )
form where the coefficient on 
represents the slope of the graph of the equation. Parallel lines have identical slopes. For example, the third answer is already in slope-intercept form and the coefficient on is 45. Since 45 is not equal to 5, the coefficient on in the given equation, the graphs cannot be parallel.
