document.write( "Now, I know that to have parallel lines, the slope of both lines should be the same. The slope is 2x, so the slope of the second line should be 2x. I don't think I understand what slope looks like on a graph. But most of all, I dont really know how to get to the answer, or work this problem out. I'm wondering HOW to work this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thankyou! \n" );
