Parallel Lines

Parallel lines always have the same slope and different y-intercepts.

Slope-intercept form:
y=mx+b

  • m = slope
  • b = y-intercept

Solving the Question

We're given:


  • 3x-5=y
  • b = (0,7)

We can see that in
y=3x-5 that the slope of the line is 3. Parallel lines have the same slope, so therefore:

m = 3

We're also given that the y-intercept is (0,7).

b = 7

Plug m and b into slope-intercept form:


y=3x+7

Answer


y=3x+7
