Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 22 - y = 7. Fully

reduce your answer.

Answer 1

The slope of the parallel line is 2

Explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes, so for this question you need to re-format the equation to match a y=mx+b format (slope-intercept form).

2x -y = 7 | Subtract 2x from both sides

-y = 7 + 2x | Multiply by negative one to make y even

y = 7 + 2x | Rearrange the equation to match the formula

y = 2x +7 | 2 is your slope for both parallel lines!
