Systems of equations with the same slopes and different y-intercepts have no solution. Always Sometimes Never
if 2 equations have the same slope, and different intercept like |dw:1373825298556:dw| well, they have the same "parent function", the so-called y-intercept, is just a VERTICAL shift over the y-axis, as shown in the picture so, they're really parallel lines, so they never touch each other, thus they never have a solution, that is, they never encounter
so i will say sometimes
hehe, so you think there are times when they DO have a solution then?
so pretty much you believe that, even though they're parallel lines, somewhere in space they do a high-five then quickly go back to being parallel heheh
they might if you're talking actual world physics.
oh i see parralle lines so its going to be never
but that is quantum physics and this question is not about quantum physics
okay so whats the answer then
lines with the same slopes are parallel lines
