Answer:

The answer to your question is 4

Explanation:

Data

Equation y = 4x - 3

slope = ?

When we have an equation of a line and we are asked to get the slope we can get it in different ways:

-If we have the equation in the slope y-intercept form (y = mx + b), the slope is the coefficient of the x.

-If we have the equation in the general formula (Ax + By + C = 0), the slope is (-A/B).

For this problem the slope is 4, parallel lines have the same slope.
