21.3.3 When Two Lines Are Parallel and When They Cross

Core idea

Two lines with the same k are like side-by-side slides that never meet — equal slope k means parallel.

Module goal. Systematically describe how the signs of k and b decide a line's direction, whether it rises or falls, and which quadrants it visits — upgrading you from "able to draw" to "able to read."
