By looking at two linear equations, is there a way you can tell if the corresponding lines are parallel?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Parallel lines have the same slope
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Ensure that the equations, in the point/slope form (y = mx + b)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "If m is the same in both equations, the slopes are equal and the lines are parallel \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
