How can you determine if two linear equations are parallel?

Two linear equations are parallel if they have the same slope ($m$) but different y-intercepts ($b$).

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is an equation that forms a straight line when graphed, typically in the form $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

What does the slope ($m$) represent in a linear equation?

The slope ($m$) represents the rate of change of $y$ with respect to $x$; it indicates how steep the line is.
