Re: Considering each choice separately, having values for [#permalink]
How is it that we are supposed to determine these two lines (m and n) are parallel?

But it does not matter. Whatsoever.

You have to determine the value of a, whatever it is. 0.1 or one million.

If you can calculate it then the answer is yes , therefore, it is correct. Otherwise, do not.

You do not need to know if they are parallel or not.

Without the information that line m and n are parallel, only answer D is correct.

If that info was not given then, only answer D and E are correct

I'm always afraid of these questions. Every option has to be calculated correctly. A small mistake will cost this question. Prefer to do these questions at last always

Any way to make the "m and n are parallel" larger? I looked for that statement and still missed it, and it seems I'm not alone.
