anonymous · Answer

In order for a line to be parallel to another, they must  have the same slope.

anonymous · Answer

Then can you show me on this one so i can do the rest correctly, please?

anonymous · Answer

okay first things firt, do you know how to graph this?

anonymous · Answer

2x would be slope and y intercep would be 0n the -5 side right?

anonymous · Answer

yes, so the line would cross the y axis at -5 and the slop would be positive two. For this problem, you actually do not need to graph it. since you know that any slope (a) is parallel to any slope(b) then, both slopes a and b would be congruent. this means the slope of a line parallel to y=2x-5 is 2

Oh my god. 
haha thanks for making it much clearer now! ;)
