Question
question use slopes and y - intercepts to determine if the lines x = 2 and x = 2 are parallel. select the correct answer below: parallel not parallel
Step1: Analyze the form of the lines
The equations $x = 2$ and $x=2$ are vertical lines. Vertical lines have an undefined slope and no $y$-intercept in the traditional $y=mx + b$ (where $m$ is slope and $b$ is $y$-intercept) sense.
Step2: Determine parallel - ness
Two non - identical vertical lines are parallel. Since these are the same vertical line (representing the same set of points), we can still consider them parallel to themselves in the context of parallel line definitions in geometry.
