Line a passes through (-1,1) and (1,3).Line b passes through (3,4) and (0,2).Line c passes through (0,1) and (3,3). Which lines, if any, are parallel.

Answer:

B and C are parallel lines.  A is not parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

[Brainly somehow saw inappropriate language and blocked posting my original answer.  I can't find the problem, so am randomly altering words.  I hope it is still useful]

See attachments.  Find the slopes for the three Lines as per the attached image.  Slopes are the Rise/Run, calculated for the given points for each line.  The y-intercept, b, is calculated by using the slope and one of the points for each line with:  b = y - mx.

We see that the slopes of lines B and C are both (2/3).  Parallel Lines have the same slope, so B and C are parallel.  A, with a slope of 1, is not parallel.

 So we have the answer to the question, without the need for calculating b.  But in the spirit of making a graph to prove the point, b is calculated and the three equations are graphed in the second attachment.  Note that Lines B (Red) and C (Blue/Green) are parallel.  A  is not parallel.
