Answer:

Parallel lines

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

y = x + 3 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 1

- x + y = 7 ( add x to both sides )

y = x + 7 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 1

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus the lines are parallel
