$m_12=-10$

$m_34=-10$

Hence, the lines are parallel

$(x_1,y_1)-=(0,6)$

$(x_2,y_2)-=(3,-24)$

Slope
$m_12=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(-24-6)/(3-0)=-30/3=-10$

$(x_3,y_3)-=(-1,19)$

$(x_4,y_4)-=(8,-71)$

Slope
$m_34=(y_4-y_3)/(x_4-x_3)=(-71-19)/(8-(-1))=-90/9=-10$

$m_12=-10$

$m_34=-10$

Hence, the lines are parallel
