yes they can be parallel because for a pair of lines to be parallel the slope must be the same no matter if the slope is positive or negative.
Actually it IS. perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes and parallel lines have the same slope.
Slopes of line perpendicular to the x-axis are undefined.
They are the same.

I believe they have Negative Slopes as stated by my Geometry Book. "Perpendicular Lines Have Slopes Which Are Negative ___"
It depends if they have the same positive slope if yes then they are parallel.
Is it possible for two lines with positive slopes to be perpendicular?
Slopes are whatever b is when using the formula y=mx+b. It could be any #, positive or negative.
A line that slopes to the right and up has a positive slope.
yes they can be parallel because for a pair of lines to be parallel the slope must be the same no matter if the slope is positive or negative.
If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.
negative reciprocal slopes ---> the lines are perpendicular equal slopes ---> the lines are parallel
The slopes of two parallel lines will be the same.
The slopes of parallel lines are by definition equal.
Steep slopes
Take any two lines and look at their slopes. -- If the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. -- If the product of the slopes is -1, then the lines are perpendicular.
