No, for if they were to be the same think of it as a y-intercept being basic coordinates on a graph and unless there is another variable such as consisting of that of 3-dimensions (rather than just a x and y axis) they would be intersecting making them basically cross at that point as well as the rest of the coordinates due to the requirement of the same slope.

Example:

In simple y=mx+b form the b is the basic y-intercept, varied by the coordinates of where it intersects therefore....

y=2x+5 definitely holds the coordinates (0,5)

While y=2x+5 also holds the same coordinates assuredly intersecting at (0,5)

Though if the line were to be y=2x+2 it would not hold the coordinates (0,5) and would rather hold that as of (0,2) making it parallel

-What everything basically stands on is the variation of the y-intercept (Anything but the exact same in most cases) as well as the consistency of slope so that in simple form it would bear the same "steepness".

P.S.

Sorry if I repeated myself a lot but the simple answer is No

They are parallel to each other.


How are the slopes of parallel lines related?

The slopes of two parallel lines will be the same.


Are two same lines parallel?

yes two lines that are the same line are parallel because they continue forever and do not intercept.


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.
