If m∥n and the slope of line m is 3, the slope of line n must be equal to: D. 3.

In Mathematics and Euclidean Geometry, parallel lines refers to two lines that are always the same distance apart and never meet.

This ultimately implies that, two (2) lines are parallel under the following conditions:

Slope of line 1,
m_1 = Slope of line 2,
m_2

Slope of line m,
m_1 = Slope of line n,
m_2

3 = 3

Since line m is parallel to line n, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that must have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of line n is equal to 3 because it is parallel to line m.

Complete Question:

If m∥n and the slope of line m is 3, what is the slope of line n?

A. 1/3

B. –1/3

C. –3

D. 3
