Answer :
Answer:
They're parallel because the first part of the equations have the same numbers/variables (can see down below in bold). This tells us whether or not it's parallel. There's no need for any calculations due to this.
5x - 2y = 2
and
5x - 2y = 8
The answer of the equations doesn't affect it, only is they're the same number. Then it becomes overlap.
For Example:
5x - 2y = 9
and
5x - 2y = 9
they're the same, meaning overlap.
