The line L1 is given by the Equation y =3x+5, and the line L2 is given by the Equation 4y-12x+16=0. Show that the lines L1 and L2 are Parallel

Rewrite the equation for L2 to find an equation for y4y=12x-16; y = 3x - 4 2. The x-coefficient gives the gradient (or slope) of the line, so since the gradient of L1 is 3, and as we have just shown, the gradient of L2 is also 3, the two lines must be parallel
