Answer:

PARALLEL

Explanation:

The second equation, y = (1/3)x - 4, has already been solved for y. To compare the slopes easily, we need now to solve the first equation for y, obtaining y = (1/3)x - 4.

We see that these two lines have the same slope, m = 1/3, and thus conclude that these lines are PARALLEL.
