    Put ur equations in y = mx + b form and compare the slopes (m) and the y intercepts (b). Parallel lines will have the same slope but different y intercepts.

    A) y = 2x + 4 ... slope is 2, y int is 4

    B) 2y = x + 4

    y = 1/2x + 2 ... slope is 1/2 and y int is 2

    C) 2x + 2y = 4

    2y = - 2x + 4

    y = - x + 2 ... slope is - 1 and y int is 2

    D) 2x - y = 4

    -y = - 2x + 4

    y = 2x - 4 ... slope is 2 and y int is - 4

    ur parallel lines will have same slope and different y int ... so ur answer is A and D.
