  PARALLEL LINES
Two non-vertical lines with slopes m1 and m2 are parallel if and only if they have the same slope, that is, if and only if m1 = m2.

Note: All vertical lines are parallel (no slope) and all horizontal lines are also parallel (slopes = 0).

Each line graphed below has a slope of 2/3 thus the lines are || and they both increase from left to right because m > 0.
