If the slopes are the same - what does that tell you about the lines

anonymous · Answer

IF the slope AND the y intercept is the same what does that mean?

anonymous · Answer

Infinte many

anonymous · Answer

their parrallel lines

anonymous · Answer

Perfect - parallel lines...

anonymous · Answer

how many times does parallel lines meet?

anonymous · Answer

meet or touch each other

anonymous · Answer

The answer is NEVER

anonymous · Answer

now lines with same slope and same y intercept are the SAME line...they have exist on the same line...infinite solutions

anonymous · Answer

they never do.. But the answer is infinite many

anonymous · Answer

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes and NEVER the same y intercept. So they only have ONE Solutions, since they only touch/meet once.

Yes the answer is B..but I wanted to explain why it is B..
