How do you explain why two graphed lines have the same slopes but different y-intercepts?

-The lines are parallel.

-The lines are intersecting.

-The lines overlap completely.

-Not enough information is given.

The correct answer is: The lines are parallel.

When two graphed lines have the same slopes but different y-intercepts, it means that the lines have the same steepness but are shifted up or down on the y-axis. This indicates that the lines will never intersect, no matter how far they get extended. Therefore, the lines are parallel.
