Industrial HVAC System Layout

A mechanical technician is reviewing the digital blueprint for two main air supply ducts. To ensure the ducts are parallel and will never intersect, the technician must verify two specific mathematical properties of their linear equations (y=mx+by = mx + b). According to the standard definition for non-vertical lines, what two conditions regarding the slopes (mm) and y-intercepts (bb) must be met to confirm the ducts are parallel and distinct?
