if a line is y=mx+b and m is the slope
2 paralell lines have the same slope
then y=-5x+4 and y=-5x+6

y=-5X+4 and Y=-5X+6 because they have the same slope and will never cross. They will be like this: \ \ , no matter how long you draw them, they will never touch. Dont let the +/- sign fool you, they can have a +/- sign and it still wont make a difference, the only thing that does is the number next to X, those must be the same to make it a parallel line.

parallel lines have equal slopes (the number in front of the x)
y= -5x+4
y= -5x+6

y=-5x+4 and y=-5x+6 are parallel because they have the same slope, -5.

Is this ur hmwk? ur supposed to do it yourselff!! I'll help you anyways......
parallel lines have the same slope. so the two equations that are parrallel are y= -5x+6 and y= -5x+4.
Hope I helped you!!
