Question

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to y=3x+5

Answer 1

The answer you are looking for is a slope of 3.

Parallel lines have the same slope (M value in Y = MX + B), but different y-intercepts (B value in Y = MX + B) For example, y = 3x + 7 would be parallel to the line given above, since they slope is the same, but the y-intercept is different.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: Slope = 3

Explanation:

On a 2D-Plane, any two lines with the same slope and a different y-intercept will be parallel

Knowing this, any line with the same slope as our given line and a different y-intercept will be parallel to it

Therefore, any line with a slope of 3 and a y-intercept other than 5 will be parallel to y = 3x + 5
