The way to determine parallel lines is to look at the slope. That means when you look at the equation in slope-intercept form, 
, you're looking at the 
.
In the given problem, the slope is 
. Parallel lines will have identical slopes; thus, any line that is parallel to the line described by the equation would ALSO have a slope of 
. Only one answer choice satisfies that requirement:
.

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. When looking at the standard line equation 
, the important thing is that the 
's are the same. In this case, the given equation has a slope of 
. Only one answer choice also has a slope of

The definition of parallel lines tells us that if two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. Since these lines are described in the slope-intercept form, we know that the slope of these lines are given by the coefficient of the 
variable.
