Answer:

3

Explanation:

remember the equation y=m*x+b? well, b and m are both numbers

in this case, m is 3, since 3x= 3*x and b=5.

m is the slope, and b is the y intercept (what y is when x is equal to 0)

a line is parallel if the slope doesn't change but the y intercept changes, aka moving the line up or down. ask me questions in the comment section if you have any
