Answer by HyperBrain(694) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let's use the slope-intercept form because these equations are in that form.
NOTE:Lines are parallel if and only if their slopes are equal.
In this form, m is the slope.
So, we will find a pair with the same slope.
a)m=9
b)m=-9
c)m=9
d)m=1
Thus, a) and c) are parallel. Wanna see some proof? Look below!
