Question

Find the slope of a line parallel to each given line y = x + 2

Answer 1

y = x + 4

Explanation:

For a line to be Parallel it has to have the same slope but different y intercept

Answer 2

1

Explanation:

This equation is written in the

y = mx + b,

where "m" is the slope, and "b" is the y-intercept.

In this case, m=1, hence the "x" has no coefficient; therefore, the slope of the given line is 1.

When 2 lines are parallel, they run next to each other, for infinitely long, yet they never touch. This means that 2 parallel lines have the same slope. Hence a line running parallel to the given one will also have a slope of 1.
