Answer:

Two parallel lines will have the same slope. The slopes of parallel lines have to be equal. The y-intercepts of those two lines have to be different, otherwise they would be the same line. The x-intercepts of the parallel lines would also be different. hope it helps

Parallel lines must have the same slope. However for them to be UNIQUE lines, ie different lines, they must have a different y-intercept.

So if we say generally that a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept then these two unique parallel lines would be:

y1=mx+h and y2=mx+k

Where m is the same for both and each have unique constants h and k where they cross the y-axis
