If the given line is ax + by + c = 0then a parallel line is ax + by + d = 0 for any constant d.
The line that cuts a parallel line is called a TRANSVERSAL. When you have parallel lines and you want to show like corresponding, vertical, ect.... then the line that cut through the parallel lines is a TRANSVERSAL
Line a is parallel to line b, m, and . Find .
They both will have the same slope or gradient but with different y intercepts
A vertical line has an undefined slope. For the line to be parallel to a vertical line, the slopes would have to be the same. Therefore, the line parallel to a vertical line also has an undefined slope.
