do u know what parallel lines are

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Parallel lines are basically a lines that have the same slope, but different y intercepts. So y = 5x + 2 and y = 5x + 4 are examples of parallel lines

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

So construct a line that has the same slope but crosses the y intercept at a different point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And also two lines on a plane that never meet, they are always the same distance apart.

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

What @shadowlegendX & @kissmyaxe is perfectly correct if u need the steps check out this link :) http://www.mathopenref.com/constparallel.html

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still dont understand how im supposed to conctruct a parallel line ;/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i saw that video before but it isn't the right way the answer shows me when i put in the same as they did. it gives me a different answer.

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

|dw:1421320425594:dw| These lines are parallel because they have the same slope but they cross the y axis at different points

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

Said*** Have u tried YouTube videos ?

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Think of a ruler. You know how they have those lines next to each other to indicate inches and centimeters? Those lines a parallel to each other as they start all on the y axis, with the same slope, just at different points on the y axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1421320647338:dw|would i put it like this ?

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Think of the y axis as just a straight line that runs down the middle of something. |dw:1421320650286:dw| Bridge A and Bridge B cross the river at different areas along the y axis, but have the same slope

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

That's perpendicular

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

The y axis is up and down, in your picture it is side to side

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Yeah @Godlovesme Is right, that is perpendicular. Perpendicular lines are lines that form 90 degree angles, or a "right angle".

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

Parallel lines NEVER intersect @beautykillsszz

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Thanks for stating that @Godlovesme

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

NP :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1421320860429:dw|like this ?

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

Looks a LOT better :)

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

|dw:1421320954752:dw|

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

Don't forget that the parallel lines r the ones going on the same direction

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

Thanks for the medal :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do i do next :(

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

That's it those r parallel line wait do u have to prove something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i give up ;/ thanks for the help anyways. i just dont understand.

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

I'm sorry I'm not a good teacher =0 @shadowlegendX more help please??

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

What part do you not understand @Beautykillsszz ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i already skipped my question and said i didn't know .

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Sigh, @Beautykillsszz Don't give up in life, you gotta fight strong through the hardships in life

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

This is a VERY easy concept in Algebra, you got to get it
