Question

Y= 2/3x+8
Which are parallel to the one above?
A. y=x+6
B. y=-3/2x+11
C. y=4/7x+13
D. Y= 2/3x+13

Answer 1

Ok, well, there is a way we can tell just from the equation whether two lines are parallel or not. And that by looking at the slope.

Answer 2

any lines with the same slope are parallel.

Answer 3

All of these equations are in the y=mx+b format. In this equation m=slope and b=the point where the line intersects the y axis.

Answer 4

So, can you see which one has the same slope as your equation?

Answer 5

Sorry guys really stumped here

Answer 6

That's alright. It's really simple once you get it. Really try to look at the equation y=mx+b. In C for example, m=4/7 and b=13.

Answer 7

And if m=slope...

Answer 8

So, in your equation b=8. What would m be?
