Show that two nonvertical lines with the same slope are parallel. [Hint: The equations of distinct lines with the same slope must be of the form y = mx + b and y = mx + c with bc (why?). If (x1, y1) were a point on both lines, its coordinates would satisfy both equations. Show that this leads to a contradiction, and conclude that the lines have no point in common.]
