lines?

Answer:

The line n is parallel to the line m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate slopes.

The formula of a slope:

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Line m:

(3, 7), (6, 12)

[tex]m=\dfrac{12-7}{6-3}=\dfrac{5}{3}[/tex]

Line n:

(-5, 1), (-2, 6)

[tex]m=\dfrac{6-1}{-2-(-5)}=\dfrac{5}{3}[/tex]

The lines have the same slope. That is why they are parallel.
