Question 247167: Determine whether the graph of the are parallel.
x+13=y
2y=6x-3

In order for two lines be parallel, they must have the same slope.
If we convert all equations to this pattern: y=mx+b, m would be our slope.
So, let's compare them:

y=x+13 ... its slope is 1

2y=6x-3
y=3x-(3/2) ... its slope is 3

Since the slopes are different, we know they are not parallel.
Below is how the lines would look like in the cartesian plane.

The green line represents
