Which of the following pairs of equations represents parallel lines?

A. y = 2x + 1 and y = 2x - 3

B. y = -x + 4 and y = x - 2

C. 2x + 3y = 6 and 4x + 6y = 12

D. x + 2y = 5 and 2x + 4y = 10

E. None of the above

Answer: A. y = 2x + 1 and y = 2x - 3

Parallel lines have the same slope. The equations y = 2x + 1 and y = 2x - 3 both have a slope of 2.
