The lines represented by the equation x^2 + 2xy + y^2 = 0 are:

Step 1: Start with the equation x^2 + 2xy + y^2 = 0.
Step 2: Recognize that this is a quadratic equation in two variables (x and y).
Step 3: Factor the equation. Notice that it can be rewritten as (x + y)(x + y) = 0.
Step 4: Set each factor equal to zero. This gives us x + y = 0.
Step 5: Solve for y in terms of x. From x + y = 0, we get y = -x.
Step 6: This means there is a line represented by y = -x.
Step 7: The line passes through the origin (0,0).
Step 8: Since the equation represents a single line (y = -x) that can be counted as two identical lines, they intersect at the origin.
Step 9: Conclude that the lines are not parallel because they are the same line.
