slope of line l

What is the slope of line l which passes through the origin of a rectangular coordinate system?

1. The line does not intersect with the line y = x + 2.
2. The line passes through the point (3, 3).

if 2 lines do not interesect at any point, they are parallel. Hence slopes are same.
form 1, slope =1
SUFF

line passes through (0,0) and also (3,3)
Slope can be calculated
SUFF
