You can put this solution on YOUR website! Remember parallel lines have equal slopes. So this means the equations a) and d) have equal slopes of -4. So these two lines are parallel
So the answer is D)
Notice if we graph and , we get
and we can see that the two lines are parallel. So our answer is verified
