i need help with algebra 1.

-to most people i guess its kinda simple but i need help.

the problem is, It wants to know if the graphs of the lines in each pair are parallel or not.

1)y=-3/4x-2
-3x+4y=8

if your good at algebra and know how to do this please help!

They’re not parallel, all you do is graph it and if they cross then they’re not.

To solve this type of problem in the future, you can just put both equations into slope-intercept form (like the top one is already: y = mx + b). Then you can just see if the slopes are the same and if they are, then the lines are parallel.
