Lines are parallel if their slopes are the same, perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals, and neither otherwise. When you lines are in the form y=mx+b, the slope can easily be recognized as the coefficient m.


Solve your second equation for y. Compare the coefficient of x in this equation with m=4 in the first.
