Are the slopes the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Then the lines are parallel.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just parallel ?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought the coincide

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The y intercepts are different so they are two distinct parallel lines.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
