can anyone tell, how two infinite parallel lines overlap each other ? ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one is on top of another

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean how they become one ... I have my theorem, according to which they become one if they are infinite parallel lines .

OpenStudy (turingtest):

what do you mean "they become one"? I doubt that is how the theorem is stated, what is the exact wording?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

according to my theorem, if there are two parallel lines and if they are stretched up to infinity, then they would become one... there won't be 2 lines anymore, .... I have concluded it from some sketches , diagrams

OpenStudy (turingtest):

your theorem? so according to your analysis x + y =0 and 4x+4y=0 are the exact same thing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah same thing .... what you're trying to express ?? you didn't get my point ?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I get your point, but you need to be careful in math: there are caveats x+y=0 and 2x+2y=0 are coinciding lines, but that does not make them technically the same line they are what is called "linear dependent" on each other hence, don't try to establish theorems without a strong understanding of the math you are working with You should be very familiar with the mathematics of linear algebra if you are trying to develop a theorem of this sort
