They are parallel

You have to put the two equations into slope-intercept form to figure out if they are parallel or perpendicular.

Slope-intercept: y=mx+b

The first equation in slope intercept form is: y = -4/3x + 4
Slope of -4/3

The second equation in slope intercept form is: y = -4/3x - 6
Slope of -4/3

Since the slopes are equal and the y-intercepts are different, the two lines are parallel
