The equations are
.
Rewrite the equation 1:
in the slope - intercept form or
where m is slope and b is y - intercept. \ \
Divide each side by 8.
\
Cancel common terms.
\
The slope of
is
and y - intercept is
.
Rewrite the equation 2:
in the slope - intercept form or
where m is slope and b is y - intercept. \ \
Divide each side by 24.
\
Cancel common terms.
\
The slope of
is
and y - intercept is
.
The two lines have same slopes but different y - intercept, so these are parallel lines.
\The option J is correct answer.
