To make it easier turn this equation into a slope. To do that you must get "y" by itself on one side of the equal sign. The "y" have to be positive. Then plot it out. Enter the "x" (1 for example) in the equation and solve to get "y". Then use the ordered pair to plot out the slope. Then you find a coefficient of "x" that matches the one in this equation and plot that out. If it's parallel then it's right. :)
