Can two intersecting lines have the same slope?
NO they can't
Does everyline have a slope and y intercept?
No, vertical lines have an undefined slope.
What kind of slope does lines that are equally have?
The slope is the the same, Yet The y-intercept is not the same
How do you know if two lines are intersecting lines with out graphing?
For two dimensional lines: Get the formulas for the two lines into a format so that you can evaluate the slope. If the slopes are different, then they will intersect. If the slopes are the same, then you have two parallel lines, or possibly, the two equations describe the same line.
What are lines called that have the same slope and same y intercept?
they are the same line.
How wold you classify two linear equations have the same y-intercept and different slopes?
Two linear equations (or lines) with the same y-intercept and different slopes are intersecting lines. They intersect at the y-intercept. If the slopes are negative reciprocals (ex: one slope is 3 and one slope it -1/3) then they are perpendicular lines.
Is two distinct lines with same x intercept parallel?
No. In order to be parallel, two lines would have to have the same slope, and different intercepts.Why? Two lines with different slopes, but the same intercepts would result in two intersecting lines. Two lines with the same slope, and the same intercept would result in the same line. Two lines with the same slope, and different intercepts would be parallel.
Can intersecting lines have the same slope?
NO they can't
Can two intersecting lines have the same slope?
NO they can't
Do intersecting lines have the same slope?
Intersecting lines NEVER have the same slope. However, if the lines are identical, meaning all their points are the same, then they will, of course, have the same slope as well as everything else. On the other hand, parallel lines have the same slope, but they do not share a single point.
Does everyline have a slope and y intercept?
No, vertical lines have an undefined slope.
What are lines called that have the same slope and the same y intercept?
parallel lines.
What kind of slope does lines that are equally have?
The slope is the the same, Yet The y-intercept is not the same
Slope of parrallel lines?
Are equal but the y intercept is different
Do parallel lines have the same slope and y intercept?
Parallel lines have the same slope, which makes them parallel. However, they cannot have the same y intercept, or else it would be the same line.
What is the relationship between the equations of parallel lines?
They have the same slope. If you write the lines in the slope-intercept form, you will get, for each line: y = ax + b where a is the slope, and b is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis). For two or more parallel lines, the coefficient "a" will be the same.
