The slopes of two lines are equal which means that the lines are parallel.
Further explanation:
The slopes of lines are used to find the relationship between two line.
- If two lines are parallel, then their slopes will be equal.
- If two lines are perpendicular, the product of slopes of both lines will be -1
The standard form of equation of line is:

The coefficient of x is the slope here.
y=1/3x+4
Let m1 be the slope of first line:


Let m2 be the slope of second line

We can see that:

The slopes of two lines are equal which means that the lines are parallel.
