Parallel lines are lines in the same plane that never meet. Two lines are parallel to each other when their slopes are equal.
If two lines y1 = m1x1 + c and y2= m2x2 + c are parallel, then m1 = m2 because m1 and m2 represent the slopes of the two lines.

For example, 6y = 3x + 30 and 2y = x + 4 are parallel lines with slope of 1/2.
