OpenStudy (lynfran):

two lines are parallel once they have the same gradient

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok cool

OpenStudy (lilymq):

They should have the same slopes, which is m

OpenStudy (empty):

Lines are parallel on a Riemannian manifold if you can find a connection between them, which is arbitrarily defined by the choice of connection coefficients or by the metric tensor of the space. :P

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

two lines are parallel when they don't intersect. It also indicates that there is no solution (an inconsistent system) when you're solving a system of equations by using the graphing method.
