You can put this solution on YOUR website!
first write them in slope intercept form so you can see the slope y=mx+b where m is the slope.
:
y=x+4 is already in the right form
:
y=x-3--->we just added an x to both sides.
:
now we can see that the slope is 1 for each equation meaning they have the same slope therefore they are parallel lines.
