Question

What is the slope of the line that is parallel ^

Answer 1

Given:

Given that the equation of the line is
`y=2x-4`

We need to determine the slope of the line.

Slope:

The general form of the equation of the line is
`y=mx+c` where m is the slope of the line.

Comparing the equation
`y=2x-4` with the general form of the equation of the line, we get;

Slope = m = 2.

Hence, the slope is 2.

Since, we need to determine the slope of the parallel lines and we know that the slope of the parallel lines are equal.

Thus, the slope of the parallel line is 2.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
