determine the following lines are parrallel ?     x-y+1=0       6x-6y+7=0

ax+by+c=0m=ab

1x1y+1=0m=1(1)=16x6y+7=0m=6(6)=1

The lines are parrallel because m is equal.

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...
