    It's parallel. Definitely true

    Parallel

    Step-by-step explanation:

    • Parallel lines have equal slopes

    • The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines is - 1

    The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is

    y = mx + c (m is the slope and c the y - intercept)

    y = - 2x - 7 is in this form with slope m = - 2

    - y = 2x + 13 ← multiply through by - 1

    y = - 2x - 13 ← in slope intercept - form with slope m = - 2

    Both lines have the same slope, that is m = - 2, hence

    The graphs of the lines are parallel
