Question

what is the slope of a line parallel to 2x-3y=7

Answer 1

get it in the form y = mx +b

Answer 2

y=2/3x-7/3

Answer 3

yep so the slope of your parallel line will have the sam slope as this line

Answer 4

okay so does that me the formula is just the same because that is what i have but i am just checking to see if i am right

Answer 5

the formula for a parallel line to your line y=2/3x-7/3 can be in the form
y=2/3x + a where a is any number positive or negative

Answer 6

okay thank you

Answer 7

but its best to chose a as something other than what your original one was a = -7/3 just so the lines arent overlapping

Answer 8

okay thanks

Answer 9

no prob

Answer 10

one more question if the the formula isy=3/5x+45 wouldnt 3/5 be the x-intercept?

Answer 11

you can find the x intercept by setting y =0 then solve for x

Answer 12

okay thank you

Answer 13

your welcome
