To prove that two nonvertical and nonhorizontal lines are parallel, you can use one of the following methods:

1. Find the slopes of the lines: Calculate the slopes of the two lines using the slope formula (m = change in y / change in x). If the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel.

2. Find the midpoints of the segments: Calculate the midpoints of the segments formed by the lines. If the midpoints are the same, then the lines are parallel.

3. Find the lengths of the segments: Calculate the lengths of the segments formed by the lines. If the lengths are proportional or equal, then the lines are parallel.

4. Find the angles between the segments: Calculate the angles formed by the lines using trigonometry or the dot product of vectors. If the angles are equal, then the lines are parallel.

Note: You may not need to use all of these methods. It depends on what information you have about the lines.
whats the answer
I apologize for the confusion, but without specific information or context about the lines, it is not possible to provide a specific answer. The methods mentioned earlier are ways to prove that two lines are parallel, but which method to use depends on the given information about the lines. If you provide more specific information or equations of the lines, I can help you apply the appropriate method to determine if the lines are parallel.
