Marco is trying to determine whether the following two lines are parallel.
y=23x+7
y=23x−5
Which statement correctly describes the approach Marco should take based on the best reasoning?
Statement #1: Marco says he should verify that the lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
Statement #2: Marco says he should verify that the lines have the same y-intercept but different slopes.

Statement #1: Marco says he should verify that the lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
This is the correct approach because parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts. In the given equations, both lines have a slope of 23 (the coefficient of x), but they have different y-intercepts (7 and -5). Therefore, the lines are parallel.
