QUESTION 10
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line
2y = 3x - 5

Answer 1

Slope: 1.5

Explanation:

We first have to find what y is equal to. That means we take 3x - 5 and divide it by 2. We get 1.5x - 2.5. Since the lines are parallel and they have the same slope and different y - intercepts, we know that the slope will be equal.

Answer 2

m = 3/2

Explanation:

2y = 3x - 5

First find the slope of this line

Divide by 2

2y/2 = 3x/2 - 5/2

y = 3/2 x - 5/2

This is in slope intercept form y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is 3/2

Parallel lines have the same slope

m = 3/2
