Answer:

Explanation:

Parallel lines share the same slope.

In the given 4x - 2y = 4, the first 4 (the coefficient of x) and the -2 (the coefficient of y) determine the slope; all lines parallel to 4x - 2y = 4 have equations which are identical to 4x - 2y = 4 EXCEPT that their constants (in this case 4) differ.

4x - 2y = 0

4x - 2y = -3

4x - 2y = 7

constitute a set of parallel lines.

If we reduce 4x - 2y = 4 to 2x - y = 2, the second equation has the same slope AND same y-intercept as does the first.
