Put both the equations equal to a constant value.
For ex k & m. Now find the values of x, y, z in terms of k & m.
For any value of k and m (same or different) if all the coordinates are same than they intersect otherwise not. Here they dont intersect.

Obviously they are not paralles as there direction cosines are not a common multiple of each other.
