Parallel lines have the same slope..let's put both equations in the form y = mx + b, where "m" is the slope of the line......so we have
x-y+1=0 → y = x + 1
6x-6y+7=0 → 6y = 6x + 7 → y = x + 7/6
And since the coefficient in front of both "x's" in the two equations is the same (an understood "1" )...the slopes are the same ....thus....they are parallel...
