Question

The slope of a line is 2/3 What is the slope of a line that is parallel to it?

Answer 1

The gradients or slopes of two parallel lines are the same.

Answer 2

true...parallel lines have the same slope

Answer 3

A. 3/2
B. -2/3
C.-3/2
D.2/3

Answer 4

2/3

Answer 5

the same slope

Answer 6

help in another one?

Answer 7

sure

Answer 8

The graph of which of the following will be parallel to the graph of 4x – 3y = –12?

Answer 9

do you know what the slope of that equation is ?

Answer 10

nop

Answer 11

Put the equation in y = mx + b form, and m is your slope. Can you do that ?

Answer 12

idk how to put it in y=mx + b

Answer 13

4x - 3y = -12
we want the y term on one side and everything else on the other side.
so we will add 3y to both sides
4x - 3y + 3y = -12 + 3y -- combine like terms
4x = -12 + 3y -- now we will add 12 to both sides
4x + 12 = -12 + 12 + 3y -- combine like terms
4x + 12 = 3y -- now we will divide both sides by 3
4/3x + 12/3 = y.......y = 4/3x + 4
as you can see, the number in the m position is 4/3.
A parallel line will have the same slope. So the parallel line will have a slope of 4/3

Answer 14

do you understand ? I tried to leave all the steps in so you could follow

Answer 15

any questions ?

Answer 16

yea

Answer 17

The graph of which of the following will be parallel to the graph of y = 2x – 4?
A.
2x + y = 4
B.
4x – 2y = –12
C.
y = –4x + 8
D.
y = 3x – 4

Answer 18

y = 2x - 4
In y = mx + b form, the slope is in the m position.
What is the slope ?

Answer 19

you can do this...what number is in the m position ?

Answer 20

skullpatrol...can you explain this any easier for Roberto ?

Answer 21

I am sorry Roberto, but I have to get ready to go somewhere. I wish I could stay and help, but I have to go somewhere.
Your slope is 2. You will need to find the other equation that has 2 as the slope. To do this, put the equations in y = mx + b form, and whichever one has 2 as the slope is the parallel line.
Sorry...I have to go now :(

Answer 22

thanks
