Question

2 What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the following: y= 3x -4

Answer 1

Parallel lines are defined by the same slope and will never intersect. They continue without touching eachother assuming them on the same plane.

Lines are represented by the following expression:

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where,} \\ m=\text{slope} \\ b=y-\text{intercept} \end{gathered}$

Then, for a parallel line to:

$y=3x-4$

The slope would be 3.
