Line OP has an equation of a line y = 6x − 5, and line QR has an equation of a line y = 6x + 3. These two equations represent

Question

jeremiah · Answer

the same line
lines that are neither parallel nor perpendicular
parallel lines because the slopes of the lines are equal
perpendicular lines because the slopes are opposite reciprocals

tkhunny · Answer

What say you?  How do their slopes compare and what does it mean?

jeremiah · Answer

I'm not sure, I'm not good at geometry

jeremiah · Answer

I see the y=6x is the same but i don't know what that is

seratul · Answer

If the equation is y=mx+b, what does mx represent?

jeremiah · Answer

mx is the slope?

seratul · Answer

Yes. So if two lines have the same slope, what are they?
