In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

line 1:

y= -4x+3

line 2:

-8x-2y=-2

parallel = ?

Step 02:

y = mx + b

Slope of the parallel line, m’

m’ = m

line 1:

y= -4x + 3 ===> m1 = -4

line 2:

-8x-2y=-2

-2y = 8x - 2

y = 8x/(-2) - 2/(-2)

y = -4x + 1 ===> m2 = -4

m1 = m2

- 4 = - 4

The answer is:

The lines are parallel.
