---
2x - 8y = 7
-x + 4y - 1 = 0
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
2x - 8y = 7
-x + 4y = 1
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

answer1:
this linear system is singular, it has no solution:
the lines are parallel
---
another method:
convert the lines to slope-intercept form:
---
2x - 8y = 7
-8y = -2x + 7
y = -2x/(-8) + 7/(-8)
y = (1/4)x - 7/8
---
-x + 4y = 1
4y = x + 1
y = (1/4)x + 1/4
---
answer2:
both lines have the same slope (1/4) so the lines are parallel
