Two lines are parallel, but are not the same line. Which of the following is not true of the lines? A. The slopes are the same. B. The lines have no points in common. C. The y-intercepts are not the same. D. The lines must have a positive slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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):

can it ne neagtive sometimes ? @QuestionsWolf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, but does it have to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parallel lines mean the never intersect. So if one of the points are in common, that means they intersect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We are looking for something that is false.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D is correct.
