Question

Just wanted to check my answer for this question,

If the slope of line f is 2, and a line d is parallel
to the line f, what is the slope of line d?

my answer is 1/2

Answer 1

Nope D:

Answer 2

Parallel means exact same slope.

Answer 3

oh no, can you explain please

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

Yep. So absolutely anything parralel to that line must have a slope of 2:



parallel means the lines will not intersect. Slope is a measure of the rise and run of the graph. A slope of 2 means each successive point is up 2 units and right one unit from the previous point. So the only way two lines can be parallel and not meet is if they rise and run (slope) at the exact same rate. This is why the answer would be 2. Just for the sake of it, this would be 2 and 1/2 slopes:
