You can put this solution on YOUR website! Which lines have the same slope (parallel lines are inconsistent)
The first have the same slope but same intercept, so same line
The second has slope -3/2 and 3/2, so not parallel
The third has slope -2 and different intercept. so C. ANSWER
The fourth if the first is multiplied by 2 gives the second, so that is the same line.
