Answer:

2

Explanation:

The equation 3y = 6x + 9 is set up in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b. In y = mx + b, m equals slope. To find the slope of 3y = 6x + 9, you would have to get y by itself by dividing the entire equation by 3.

3y = 6x + 9 ÷ 3

y = 2x + 9

The slope equals two.

Parallel lines have the same slope because they must have the same angle. Therefore, the slope of line “t” must also be 2.
