Question

Slope of the line that is parallel to y=5x+3

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

A line parallel to y=5x+3 would have the same slope (5) but a different y intercept (which is 3 in the equation y = 5x+3)

Answer 2

Slope = 5

Explanation:

Parallel lines have same slope. Compare the equation of the line with the equation of line in slope y-intercept form.

`\boxed{\bf y = mx + b}`

Here, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y = 5x + 3

m = 5

Slope of the line parallel to the line y = 5x + 3 is 5
