connect slope to same direction for distinct lines.
Hidden until you reveal it.
Lines must be distinct; same line should be excluded or addressed.

Your answer is equivalent to the expected form.
Walkthrough
Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. State that slope determines a line's direction.
2. Equal slopes mean equal direction.
3. If the lines are distinct, equal direction means they are parallel.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Saying equal slopes always means parallel without excluding the same line.
