Answer:

yes, they are parallel because their slopes are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

if you put each equation into slope-intercept form and compare slopes you can see whether they are parallel or not

2x + y = 14

y = -2x + 14

slope = -2

2y + 4x = 14

2y = -4x + 14

slope = -4/2, which simplifies to be -2
Yes they are parallel
