If Cyrus knows that △ABC∼△EDC and AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯∥ED¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, how can he prove that line m passing through AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ has the same slope as line l passing through ED¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯?

As AB and ED are parallel, they have the same slope. This means that since lines that are colllinear with parallel segments are parallel, lines l and m are parallel.
