Solution
The correct option is A
True
Two straight lines are said to be parallel if their slopes are equal. Slope's defined as m=tanθ=yx
If the given lines are parallel, the ratio of their y-intercept to the x-intercept must be equal. So, any lines parallel to y=mx+c is of the type y=mx+d. Where d is a parameter.
