Answer:

Lines A and C are pararllel

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to check if the lines are parallel given the points they pass through

If the lines are parallel, the value of their slopes will be equal

The slope value can be calculated as follows:


m\text{ = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Fo line a:


m\text{ = }\frac{1-3}{-4-(-2)\text{ }}\text{ = 1}

for line b;


m\text{ = }(-1-2)/(-1-1)\text{ = }(3)/(2)

for line c:


m\text{ = }(-1-1)/(1-3)\text{ = 1}

Lines A and C have the same slope value and thus, they are parallel
