No. the slope of parallel lines would be equal but not necessarily zero. How many values can m have in " y=mx +b "? where m is the slope of the lines.

What is the slope of all lines perpendicular to the line y equals 7?

All parallel lines have a zero slope.


What is the slope of all lines parallel to the x-axis?

the x-axis is the horizontal line which means the slope is 0. any line parallel also has a slope of zero


How many slopes do parallel lines have?

The lines all have the same slope.


What kind of lines have a slope of zero?

On the standard Cartesian graph, horizontal lines have zero slope. They all have the equation Y = a number


Why are all horizontal lines parallel?

By definition, lines are parallel if they have the same gradient (slope). Any horizontal line has a gradient of 0, so it is parallel to any other horizontal line.


Do intersecting lines have the same slope?

Intersecting lines NEVER have the same slope. However, if the lines are identical, meaning all their points are the same, then they will, of course, have the same slope as well as everything else. On the other hand, parallel lines have the same slope, but they do not share a single point.


What is parallel to y equals 2x 5?

All lines that have the same slope are parallel to each other. To determine which lines are parallel to the give equation, you must first have to determine the slope of the equation. Notice that your equation is written in y = mx + b form, where m represents slope. In this case, m = 2. Any equation with a slope of 2 is parallel to your given line. For examples of lines that would be parallel, the following are all parallel: y = 2x y = 2x + 1 y = 2x + 2 y = 2x + 100


How many parallel lines are there in a heptagon?

A heptagon contains zero parallel lines. All of the lines in a regular heptagon with all sides and angles equal are at different angles from each other.


What is the slope of a line that is parallel to y equals 2?

The line y=2, and all lines parallel to the x axis, have a slope of 0. The formula for this line in particular can be expressed as y=0x +2.


How is it determined whether the lines passing through some specified points are parallel perpendicular or neither?

The straight line equation is y = mx + b. If they do not cross and have the same slope they are parallel; if they cross and the slope (m) of one of them is the negative inverse slope of the other (-1/m) they are perpendicular. Otherwise they are neither


Do all lines have a slope?

Although all lines have the relationship that defines slope, one can argue that not all lines do have one. The exception would be vertical lines. Slope is defined as the vertical rate of change divided by the horizontal rate of change. In the case of a vertical line, there is no horizontal rate of change, and calculating slope would cause division by zero. The closest you could come to expressing the slope of a vertical line would be ∞


Why can three coplanar lines have zero one two or three points of intersection?

If all three lines are parallel, there are zero points of intersection. If all three lines go through a point, there is one point of intersection. If two lines are parallel and the third one crosses them, there are two. If the three lines make a triangle, there are three points.
