Question

Find the slope of a line parallel to each given line.
1) y = -x +3
2) y = -8/3x - 5

Answer 1

1) m = -1

2) m = -8/3

Explanation:

The slope is the number in front of x. If there is no number then it is one. If x is positive it will be a positive one and if x is negative it will be a negative one.

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope.
