Well, we know that if they are parrallel, then never intersect. and they should have the same slope.

So, we know it can't be a, or c
OpenStudy (anonymous):
But, if 2 lines are parallel, do that HAVE to have a positive slope, or can it sometimes be negative, or zero, or undefined?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parallel lines mean the never intersect. So if one of the points are in common, that means they intersect.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
