*Yes - the equations are parallel, because they have the same slope.
*The slope is a whole number, or fraction place beside the
x-variable.
*The slopes are ... 2 or, 2/1
*The slope formula is y = mx + b, in which the m-variable represents the slope & the b-variable represents the
y-intercept.

They have the same slope, so yes they are parallel. Remember that when a line is in the form of y = mx + b, then m is the slope. So they both have a slope of 2.

The equations are already in the slope-intercept form: y = mx + c
If the slopes are equal, the lines are parallel
Compare the slopes (m)
y = 2x + 5
slope = 2
y = 2x
slope = 2
The slopes are equal. The lines are parallel.

Each line has the same slope.
The lines have different y-intercepts (5 and 0).
Thus the lines are parallel and not the same line.
