Question

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

Answer 1

parallel lines have the same slope so the slope is 3

Answer 2

The slope of a parallel line is 3

Explanation:

In a general way parallel lines share the same value of the slope, so all that we have to is to identify the slope.

We are given a line equation in slope-intercept form that is,

`y = mx+b`

Here m which is the coefficient or number in front of x stands for the slope, while b stands for the y-intercept.

Identifying the slope.

For the given line equation y = 3x+5, we have for the coefficient or number in front of x as 3, so we have that the slope m is 3.

Then for parallel lines we know that slopes have the same value, so the slope of a line that is parallel to y = 3x+5 has slope m = 3.
