Question

Find the slope of a line that is parallel to the given line,if the slope is undefined,state this
y=-3

Answer 1

What is the given line?

Answer 2

Is it y=-3?

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

That's jsut a straight horizontal line

Answer 5

y=any number would be parallel

Answer 6

Are you sure you wrote the question out correctly?

Answer 7

I solved it and this is what I got the slope of the line is -3 and on a horinontal line -3 will end up been Y=3

Answer 8

y=-3 is not a slope

Answer 9

y=mx+b

Answer 10

Yes its correct here the question again
Find the slope of a line that is parallel to the given line,if the slope is undefined,state this
y=-3

Answer 11

They want me to state it if the slope is undefined

Answer 12

b=-3 in that scenario

Answer 13

and slope is 0

Answer 14

The slope is defined, It is 0. No slope is still a slope.

Answer 15

y=-3 is y=(0)x-3

Answer 16

since y=mx+b is equation of a line, in that case, m=0 and m is slope

Answer 17

Oh good I understand it

Answer 18

ok cool

Answer 19

So the slope of the line that is parallel to y=-3 is (0)x-3

Answer 20

almost

Answer 21

The EQUATION of the line is y=0x-3. The actual slope is 0. The slope is part of the equation. Remember y=mx+b is the equation of a line. The "m" is the slope. So the actual slope, is m=0. The "b" is vertical translation up and down and since it's y=-3, it's a vertical translation down 3 units.

So slope = m = 0.

Answer 22

And y=-3 is a straight line crossing y at -3 with no slope upwards or downwards.

Answer 23

Got it?

Answer 24

Great .

Answer 25

U sure u understand?

Answer 26

I have 1 more problem : Find the slope of a line that is parallel to the given line,if the slope is undefined,state this
y=-1/5x+2
