Another data sufficiency question:
If L1 and L2 are distinct lines in the xy coordinate system such that the equation for L1 is y=ax+b and the equation for L2 is y= cx+d,
Is ac=a^2?
(1) d=b+2
(2) For each point (x,y)on L1, there is a corresponding point (x,y+k) on L2 for some constant k.
Ps: rationale please

ac = c^2
ac - c^2 = 0
c(a - c) = 0
For the equation to be true
Either c = 0 => L2 is parallel to x axis
or c = a => L1 and L2 are parallel
1) d = b + 2
Doesn’t help as we are looking for either c = 0 or c = a
2) Note this states that L1 and L2 are parallel.
Why is that so ? Because for every value of x, there will be a value of y unique to each line and the distance between two lines will be constant.
Hence B
