Two linear equations that are parallel with have the sameslope, or the m value in y = mx + b will be the same.
For example, y = 3x + 5 is parallel to y = 3x - 6

They are the same.
Actually not. Two linear equations have either one solution, no solution, or many solutions, all depends on the slope of the equations and their intercepts. If the two lines have different slopes, then there will be only one solution. If they have the same slope and the same intercept, then these two lines are dependent and there will be many solutions (infinite solutions). When the lines have the same slope but they have different intercept, then there will be no point of intersection and hence, they do not have a solution.
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Actually it IS. perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes and parallel lines have the same slope.
The slopes will be the same. It is also possible that both parallel lines have no slope defined - if they are vertical.
