if two lines are parallel then the slope is same.
so, what is m * m ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
m?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is it 1?
OpenStudy (haseeb96):
m1 II m2
m1=m2
if the one slope is m then other obviously would be also m
OpenStudy (haseeb96):
no it is not 1
your's all options are wrong

wait but it said product. so wouldn't it be 2m? or...1?
OpenStudy (haseeb96):
product is 1
it means that m\m=1
i think it has cleared your complexion
OpenStudy (haseeb96):
A is the correct answer
OpenStudy (raden):
m times m equals m^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay I'm confused now.

dude if two lines are parallel they have the same slope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so both their slopes would be m
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Lol yeah i know but the answer choices threw me off
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the product of the slopes os m*m
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is m*m which is m^2
