Hi,
*Note: Inorder to be parallel lines, slopes must be equal
Checking out the slopes of the lines passing thru points given for each
{{{m =(y[2] - y[1])/(x[2] - x[1])}}}
(4,2) and (-4,4)
m = 4-2/-4-4 = 2/-8 = -1/4
{{{m =(y[2] - y[1])/(x[2] - x[1])}}}
(-8,1) and (8, -3)
m = -3-1/8-(-8)=-4/16 = -1/4
Slopes are equal, lines are parallel
