Please help me....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do intersecting lines have the same or different slope.

OpenStudy (zpupster):

parallel lines have the same slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do the lines intersect at one point? If so, the answer is no. The reason being is that lines that have the slope are parallel, meaning they have no intersection points. If the lines intersect at multiple points, they are the same line, thus same slope.

so they do intersect at one point

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what is slope ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do intersecting lines have the same or different slope.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

whats the definition of \(\large\text{slope}\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two lines with the same slope and same y-intercept are identical lines and intersect infinitely. If the slopes are different, I'd say they generally intersect at one point.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also, are the x and y intercepts the same or different for intersecting lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the x and y intercept are the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not necessarily...The y-intercepts could be the same when you have different slopes, but they don't have to be
