Answer:

m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the second equation into slope-intercept form (so that it is formatted the same as the first equation)

8x - 4y = 12

8x - 8x - 4y = -8x + 12

-4y = -8x + 12

-4y/-4 = (-8x + 12)/-4

y = 2x - 3

The slope for this equation is 2.

Equations with the same slope  are parallel and therefore have no solution since they can never intersect.  Hence, the required value of m is 2.
