Answer:

No.

Explanation:

First of all if you graph them they aren't parallel but the more mathematical reason is because they have different slopes. One has a slope of 2 while the other has a slop of -2. They also have the same intercept so they are bound to cross and intersect.

The following lines are parallel. 4x + 2y = 8 and y = 2x + 4 True False-example-1
