parallel lines have the same slope
the given eqn 3y=2x-x+5  same as 3y= x + 5
divide by 3  y = x/3 + 5/3
slope is 1/3
which of the choices have a line with the same slope of 1/3?

anonymous · Answer

im not sure how you got 1/3 ? @triciaal

triciaal · Answer

when you divide by 3  y = x/3 + 5/3
x/3 is the same as (1/3)(x)

triciaal · Answer

slope is the coefficient of x when you write the eqn in y=mx +b format

anonymous · Answer

i ended up with C . @triciaal

triciaal · Answer

did i write the original question correctly? it was odd to have 2x - x  but that simplifies to x

triciaal · Answer

answer a is correct. answer c has a slope of 2/3
