Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to y=(1/2)x+3?

Answer 1

Parallel means that they go in the same direction and they don’t intersect and have the same slope. The slope of a line parallel to y=1/2x+3 is 1/2.

Hope it helps and is correct :)

Answer 2

paralell lines have the same slope

in form y=mx+b, m is the slope

given
`y=(1)/(2)x+3`, we can match and compare with y=mx+b form

`y=(1)/(2)x+3`

vs

`y=mx+b`

we can see that
`m=(1)/(2)` and
`b=3`

this tells us that m, the slope, is equal to
`(1)/(2)`

since parallell lines have the same slope, the slope of a line paralell to
`y=(1)/(2)x+3` is
`(1)/(2)`

the slope of a line paralell to
`y=(1)/(2)x+3` is
`(1)/(2)`
