Since the line parallel to another line...has the same slope but different y-intercept...you need only find the slop of this like...and you have 2 points which is exactly what you need...use the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (3-3)/(5-1) which comes to 0/4 of course with the 0...the slope is 0.....so imaging this as a straight line...it goes through the y axis at 3 and just stays straight forever

so the answer is 4 am i corret i think i understandin you :D

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

No, remember the slope of parallel lines are equal....what i solved for there was the slope of the line you have...and that was 0....if that slope is 0, a parallel line must also be slope = 0

so 0 lol i think your trying to say the answer is lol sorry i aint that smart

|dw:1362698044465:dw| So look at it like that...the straigh line goes through the y-axis at 3 and goes forever...so a line parallel drawn directly above it goes through the y axis at 4 and goes on forever....at the same slope which is 0
