Algebra 1 TEKS 2E Parallel Lines

​Algebra 1 :

Parallel Lines

Some text here about the topic of discussion

Two lines on the same plane can be considered ​parallel if they have the same slope. in terms of slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, the m value of two parallel lines will be the same. Parallel lines on a coordinate grid will never intersect with each other.
