Question

Parallel Lines never intersect because___________.

  1. They have the same slopes.
  2. They have the same y-intercept.
  3. They have different slopes.
  4. They have different y-intercepts.

The correct answer is: They have the same slopes.


    Parallel Lines never intersect because they have the same slopes.

    Parallel lines have the same slope and will never intersect. Parallel lines continue, literally, forever without touching. A pair of parallel lines have to have the same slope, but different intercepts (if they had the same intercepts, they would be identical lines).

    The 'b" in y=mx+b represents ____________________.

    In the equation 'y = mx + b', 'b' is the point, where the line intersects the 'y axis' and 'm' denotes the slope of the line. The slope or gradient of a line describes how steep a line is. It can have either a positive or a negative value.
