First we are going to express both equation in terms of
y to compare their slopes:
For our first equation:

-x=1-y

-x-1=-y

y=x+1
For our second equation:

-1+y=x+2

y=x+3
So now we have our system of equations in terms of y:

\left \{ {{y=x+1} \atop {y=x+3}} \right.
Notice that the slope, the coefficient of
x, in both equations is the same: 1, and if tow linear equations have the same slope, they are parallel.

We can conclude that we can classify the system of equations as parallel.
