Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to 4x + y = -1?

Answer 1

if y=mx +c be parallel to y=kx+d
then m=k
in other words parallel lines have equal slope

Answer 2

first find the slope of 4x + y = -1
slope of ax +by=c is given by -(coefficient of x)/(coefficient of y)
and this will also be the slope of the required parallel line with the given one

Answer 3

im confused

Answer 4

Know the standard form \(y=mx+b\) where m is the slope?

Well, parallel lines have the same slope. So put it in \(y=mx+b\) form, then m is your answer.

Answer 5

m=2?

Answer 6

or m=-4?

Answer 7

Yes! -4!

Answer 8

Not sure where that 2 came from. hehe.

Answer 9

Lol me either im a little slow

Answer 10

Well, you kept with it and got the right answer. That is what matters!
