Question 266526: Determine whether the graphs of the pair of lines are parallel
x+8=y
y-x=-4
What is the slope of the line x+8=y?
What is the slope of the line y-x=-4?
Are the graphs of the given equations parallel?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Put the eqns in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b
That means solve for y.
-------------------
m is the slope
-----------------
If the eqns have the same slope, they're parallel
