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.

What are lines called that have the same slope and the same y intercept?
parallel lines.
Can two non vertical parallel lines can have the same y-intercept?
No, they cannot - unless the two lines are effectively the same line.
Which properties best describe the coordinate graph of two distinct parallel lines?
Same slopes and different intercepts
What are distinct lines?
Distinct Lines are two (or more) lines that are not equal. This means that they are not the same line (do not have the same equation)
Skew lines and parallel lines exactly the same?
Skew lines are not parallel. Parallel lines are across from each other in some way and are exactly parallel.
Can parallel lines have the same intercept value?
Unless they are the exact same lines, no. Parallel lines do not touch. If two lines have the same intercept value, they share a point, and therefore touch.
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 are lines called that have the same slope and the same y intercept?
parallel lines.
Are two same lines parallel?
yes two lines that are the same line are parallel because they continue forever and do not intercept.
Do perarallel lines have the same y-intercept?
If parallel lines had the same y intercept then they would intersect each other at that point (0, c). Parallel lines don't intersect at all so they cannot have the same y intercept. The only exception would be if both lines were the same.
Two distinct lines that do not intersect are parallel?
2 lines the same width apart are parallel.
How is skew lines are different from parallel lines?
Skew lines are lines that lie on separate planes. and do not intercept parallel lines that are sometimes on the same plane, but don't intersect
What does parallel lines intercepted arc conjecture mean?
Parallel lines intercept congruent arcs on a circle. More explanation: Parallel lines never interSECT but they can interCEPT Congruent arcs means that the two arcs would have the same measure of the arcs.
How can you use the slopes and y-intercepts to determine if two lines are parallel?
If the lines are straight and have the same slope they are parallel, no matter what the y intercept is
Can two non vertical parallel lines can have the same y-intercept?
No, they cannot - unless the two lines are effectively 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.
What are lines with equal slopes called?
Lines with equal slopes are parallel, because they are going the same direction. If the slope and the intercept are the same, the lines are coinciding, because they are on top of each other.
