If the slope of l2 is equal to that of a different line, l1, which of the following could be true?

I. l1 and l2 have the same x-intercept.

II. l1 and l2 have the same y-intercept.

III. l1 and l2 have exactly 1 point in common.

A None
B II only
C III only
D I and II only
E I, II and III

Hi prachi18oct,

Since we're told that the slopes of two DIFFERENT lines are the SAME, then those two lines are PARALLEL and would have NO POINTS in common (try drawing any 2 parallel lines and you'll see). All 3 Roman Numerals ask about whether the two lines have points in common, which is NOT possible under any circumstances. As such, non of them can be true.

Final Answer: A

Hi Rich,

I thought the x- intercept or y intercept is an absolute value and so either of the two can be equal for two parallel lines.So it is not true then. When we say x-intercept it is the exact point on x axis where the line intersects and is not measured as the absolute distance from origin ?

Yes. The intercept is the exact point on the coordinate plane. (0, 2) and (0, -2) are different y-intercepts

Hi prachi18oct,

By definition, the X-intercept and Y-intercept of a line are the exact points where the line crosses the X-axis and Y-axis, respectively. In my earlier post, I suggested that you draw two parallel lines so that you could "see" them and how they compare - that still serves as an easy way to prove the concept. When dealing with parallel lines, NO points are common.
