Answer:

y = 2x + 7 and y = 2x - 7

Explanation:

• Parallel lines have equal slopes

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 2x + 7 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

y = 2x - 7 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Thus y = 2x + 7 and y = 2x - 7 are parallel lines
