You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve both equations for , in other words, perform whatever algebraic manipulations you need to have on one side of the equal sign and everything else on the other side. Once you have done that, if the coefficient on the in both equations is exactly the same, then the lines are parallel -- otherwise not.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rewrite both equations into slope intercept form.
1.x+4=y
y-x=-3
y=x+4 (line #1)
y=x-3 )line #2)
What is the slope of each line?
The slope of line 1 is 1
The slope of line 2 is 1.
Yes, the line are parallel.
Here is a graph of the two lines.
The lines differ because of different y-intercepts.
I hope that this helps.
