Question

What is the slope of a line that runs parallel to y = -x + 7

Answer 1

slope of \(y=mx+b\) is \(m\)
in your case \(m=-1\)

Answer 2

Right. Parallel lines have the same slope as the given equation and perpendicular lines have a negative reciprocal slope,i.e. if you have an equation y=2x+4 , a perpendicular line would be y=-1/2x+4

Answer 3

i have to mput down an answer on my form, would the answer be -1?

Answer 4

Yes your slope to the parallel line would be m=-1
