SOLUTION

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: State the condition for two lines to be parallel

Slope of parallel lines are equal.

STEP 2: Get the slope of the first line

A linear equation is written in the form;

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

The slope of the given line which is written as:

$\begin{gathered} y=(x)/(3)-4 \\ y=(1)/(3)x-4 \end{gathered}$

Slope is 1/3

STEP 3: Get the slope of the second line
