Respuesta :

Answer:

The lines are not parallel because their slopes are opposite reciprocals.

Explanation:

The lines:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=-4x-7 \\ \text{and} \\ 8x+2y=17 \end{gathered}[/tex]

are not parallel because their slopes are not the same

Note:

Two straight lines are said to be parallel when their slopes are the same, and have different y-intercepts.
