Question

1. which term describes the scenario when two linear equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts?

a. intersecting
b. parallel
c. coincident
d. perpendicular

Explanation:

Linear equations with identical slopes but distinct y-intercepts represent lines that never intersect, which is the definition of parallel lines. Intersecting lines have different slopes, coincident lines share both slope and y-intercept, and perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals.

Answer:

b. Parallel
