Question

find the slope of a line parallel to each given line??

y= 1/4x + 2

Answer 1

equation of a linear graph:
y=mx+c, where:

m=gradient of the line and c= intersection point with y-axis
since u have y=(1/4)*x+2,
therefore m=1/4.

Answer 2

o okay thank u so any parallel line would be 1/4?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

parallel lines have the same slope so SINCE the slope of the one you were given is 1/4 then the slope of any line parallel to it would be 1/4.

Answer 5

You statement "so any parallel line would be 1/4" - only in this problem. Just making you are sure on this.

Answer 6

o okay thank you

Answer 7

do you know what the slope of a line perpendicular to x= -2 would be

Answer 8

if the line hav slope equal to m, the perpendicular line have slope -1/m
