3x-2y=4 [Convert to the y=mx+b format]
3x-3x-2y=-3x+4
-2y=-3x+4
-2y/-2=-3x/-2+4/-2
y = (3/2)x-2
.
-6x+4y=7 [Also, convert to the y=mx+b format]
-6x+6x+4y=+6x+7
4y=6x+7
4y/4=6x/4+7/4
y=(6/4)x+7/4 [Reduce if necessary]
y = (3/2)x+7/4
.
Graph both lines on the same graph.
The lines are parallel because they have the same slope.
