Question

Which is parallel to y = 3x − 5?

Choices:
y = 3x + 16
y = 5x + 3
y = 8x

Answer 1

what's the slope of " y = 3x − 5 " anyway?

Answer 2

The test doesn't say, @jdoe0001

Answer 3

the equation of the line does

Answer 4

Or are you asking me to figure it out?

Answer 5

\(\bf \large y = {\color{blue}{ 3}}x - 5\) see the slope now?

well... any other line that is parallel to that one, will have the same slope

Answer 6

Are you saying that blue 3 is the slope? Does that mean y = 3x + 16 is the answer?

Answer 7

for a line to be parallel to another it has to have the same slope

Answer 8

" Does that mean y = 3x + 16 is the answer?" \(\Large \checkmark\)

Answer 9

Okay, thanks @jdoe0001. :D

Answer 10

not really the same answer... but because they both have the same slope, then they're parallel
