They are parallel because they have the same slope

For this case, the first thing we must do is rewrite the lines.
We have then:
y = -2x + 5
y = -2x + 6
We observe that both lines have the same slope. That is to say,
m = -2
Therefore, the lines are parallel.
Answer:
Parallel lines for having the same slope.
