class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"4-parallel-line-equations\">Parallel Line Equations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Linear equations are generally described by the slope-intercept represented by the equation $y = mx + b$.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Where &#8220;m&#8221; is the slope, &#8220;b&#8221; is the y-intercept, and y and x are variables.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The value of \u201cm\u201d determines the slope and indicates the steep slope of the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Note that the slopes of the two parallel lines are always the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if the slope of the straight line in the equation y $= 4x + 3$ is 4, then all lines parallel to $y = 4x + 3$ have the same slope, or 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Parallel lines have different y-intersections and have no points or angles in common.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\"

class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution: <\/strong>All the three lines with arrows passing through them are parallel to each other, which means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">a || b || c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Lines with the double arrows, i.e., line d and e are transversals of lines a, b, and c, but they are parallel to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">So, we can say that d || e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 2:

class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong> The two lines are parallel as they meet one of the properties of parallel lines \u201cwhen the alternate interior angles are equal, the lines are parallel\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">$\u2220a$ is equal to $\u2220c$, and both of these are alternate interior angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">This proves that the two lines are parallel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 3: Are the lines intersected by the
