Discover the parallel structure of parallel lines. Provided with two parallel lines on a coordinate plane, the presenter shows that the rise and run, or slope, of the two lines are the same. The resource, which is a portion of a larger playlist on geometry, uses the slope-intercept formula to find the equation of a parallel line.
