Aisha Gentry · Answer 1

No

The math to prove it:

24x-4 (4x-4) = 96

24x-16x+16=96

8x+16=96

-16

8x=80

x=10

y=4 (10) - 4

y=36

24 (10) - 4 (36)

240-144

96

36 does not equal 96

Also the slopes are different

Mekhi Sawyer · Answer 2

Paralell ines have same slope

in form

y=mx+b

m=slope

in form

ax+by=c

slope=-a/b

so

y=4x-4

slope=4

24x-4y=96

slope=-24/-4=6

6≠4

not paralell since slopes not the same
