can you find the slope f y = 3x+2 line ?

hartnn · Answer

compare it with y=mx+c 
m= slope

I don't remember how to do this so i'm going to stick around to see your teachings @hartnn if you don't mind.

i am  confused...

hartnn · Answer

no problem at all :)

shamil98 · Answer

Parallel slopes are equal.
just plug in the the coordinates of (5,2)
into y=mx+b since you have your x and y coordinates and your slope.
from there you just need to solve for b to get your equation
