Question

Find the slope of the line parallel to 2y= 6x + 8.


A. 6
B. -3
C. 3
D. -6

Answer 1

we are given

2y= 6x + 8

firstly , we will solve for y

y=3x+4

now, we can compare it with

y=mx+b

m=3

so, slope of given line is 3

and we know that slope of parallel lines always equal

so, slope of another line will also be 3

so, option-C........Answer

Answer 2

the given line is 2y=6x+8

let us find slope of this line using y=mx+b

so convert the given equation in slope intercept form,

2y=6x+8

divide both sides by 2

y=3x+4

slope m=3

two parallel lines have same slopes

so slope of line parallel to it is also 3 (option C)

Answer 3

the given line is 2y=6x+8

let us find slope of this line using y=mx+b

so convert the given equation in slope intercept form,

2y=6x+8

divide both sides by 2

y=3x+4

slope m=3

two parallel lines have same slopes

so slope of line parallel to it is also 3 (option C)
