Describe how you would determine whether two lines are parallel by looking at the equations of the lines in standard form.

By comparing the slopes of both lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a straight line is y = mx + c where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept of the line.

For e.g. Consider, the lines y = 2x - 3 and y = 2x - 7.

Now, by comparing these lines with the general form, we get that both of them have slope 2.

Also, by the graph below it can be seen that they both are parallel.

So, it is clear that 'The slopes of two parallel lines are same'.

Hence, by looking at the standard form of the equation and comparing the slopes, we can determine whether the lines are parallel or not.

the most boring thing ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
