Determine which two equations represent parallel lines.
(a) y = x + 1
(b) y = x – 4
(c) y = 3x + 8 x (d) y = 3x – 1
sorry heres the whole question

Determine which two equations represent parallel lines
Y=3/7x+1
Y=-7/3x-4
Y=3x+8x
Y=3x-1
If the third equation is supposed to be
Y = 3x + 8, rather than
Y = 3x + 8x,
then the last two equations have the same slope.
For equal slopes, equations written in the form y = mx + b must have the same value of m.
To determine which two equations represent parallel lines, you need to compare their slopes. If two lines have the same slope, they are parallel.
The general form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m represents the slope of the line.
Let's compare the slopes of the given equations:
(a) y = x + 1 (slope = 1)
(b) y = x – 4 (slope = 1)
(c) y = 3x + 8 (slope = 3)
(d) y = 3x – 1 (slope = 3)
From the comparison, we can see that equations (a) and (b) have the same slope of 1, and equations (c) and (d) have the same slope of 3. Therefore, equations (a) and (b) represent parallel lines, as do equations (c) and (d).
