In a linear equation of the form y=mx+b, parallel lines will always have the same m.
How do I find the equation of a parallel line?
We can determine from their equations whether two lines are parallel by comparing their slopes. If the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different, the lines are parallel. If the slopes are different, the lines are not parallel.
What is the rule for parallel lines?
The rule for parallel lines is that the lines should not meet each other. In other words, if two straight lines in the same plane are the same distance apart and they never meet each other, they are called parallel lines.
