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

anonymous · Answer

The test doesn't say, @jdoe0001

acxbox22 · Answer

the equation of the line does

anonymous · Answer

Or are you asking me to figure it out?

jdoe0001 · Answer

$\bf \large y = {\color{blue}{ 3}}x - 5$    see the slope now?

well... any other line that is parallel to that one, will have the same slope

anonymous · Answer

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

acxbox22 · Answer

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

jdoe0001 · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

Okay, thanks @jdoe0001. :D

jdoe0001 · Answer

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