Answer:

The aspect of the lines that are the same is that they have the same slope while the aspect of the lines that are different is that they have different x and y-intercepts

Parallel lines are lines that do not meet in a xy-plane

If the parallel lines are vertical lines, they will both cut the x-axis at different points showing that they will have different x-intercept.

Similarly, if the parallel lines are horizontal lines, they will both cut the y-axis at different points showing that they will have different y-intercept.

Parallel lines are also known to have the same slope. This is the aspect that is common to both lines.
