A.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
B.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the slope of parallel lines are the same
OpenStudy (anonymous):
m= slope/ gradiant -- same thing
\[m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

substitute the values for slope
set them equal to each other
then determine which multiple choice looks like your answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it A
OpenStudy (radar):
Does -1 = + 1 ?
That would be what A. is saying!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OH
OpenStudy (radar):
Is there a C. ?

I ask because B. is saying -1 = +2 Another falsehood!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OpenStudy (radar):
If A. and B. is all you got the answer is : "neither one"

I like that one it says 1 = 1 and that just happens to be the slope of those lines.

That is actually what @completeidiot was telling you with the slope formula.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
which one
OpenStudy (radar):
parallel lines have equal slope. The one with slope of 1 = 1
OpenStudy (radar):
The one that has 3/3 =2/2
1 = 1
