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.
What is an equation of the line that passes through the point 50 and is perpendicular to the line 5x 6y24 express your answer in slope-intercept form?
Here is how to solve it. First, find the slope of the given line. To do this, solve the equation for "y". That will convert the equation to the slope-intercept form. From there, you can immediately read off the slope. Since parallel lines have the same slope, the line you are looking for will have the same slope. Now you need to use the point-slope form of the equation, with the given point, and the slope you just calculated. Finally, solve this equation for "y" to bring it into the requested slope-intercept form.
Is the x intercept the same as the slope?
No. In a linear equation, y = mx + b, the slope is m, and the x intercept is where mx + b = 0.
What is the y gradient and intercept - y3x 2?
y=3x-2 has gradient or slope of 3 and y intercept of -2 y=3x+2 has the same slope or gradient but y intercept of 2 in general, y=mx+b has a slope of m and a y intercept of b
What are 2 lines in the same plane that never intersect?
Two lines that are in the same plane and never intersect are called "Parallel," meaning that they are lines with the same slope, but not y-intersect.
What are lines called that have the same slope and same y intercept?
they are the same line.
What kind of slope does lines that are equally have?
The slope is the the same, Yet The y-intercept is not the same
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.
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.
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.
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.
Lines having the same slope and the same y-intercept?
In two dimensions, are the same line.
Are two lines with the same slope and different y-intercept perpendiculars?
No because two lines with the same slope but with different y intercepts are parallel lines. Perpendicular lines meet each other at right angles.
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.
How many solution does a system of equation with lines of same slope and y-intercept have?
Two lines with the same slope and y-intercept look like one single line. The "system" of equations consists of the same equation twice. The lines coincide at every point, which means there are an infinite number of solutions.
How many points of intersection are there If two lines have the same slope and the same y-intercepts?
If both lines have the same slope and the same y-intercept, they're the same line. So, infinite intersection points, I guess.
What are lines called if they have the same slope?
parallel lines
