determine the slope of a line parallel to the given line represented by each equation y=6x+12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this multiple choice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for a line to be parallel, it has to have the same slope right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is your slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so for parallel, it would be the negative opposite of the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no!!!

OpenStudy (amorfide):

alvatraz that is perpendicular

OpenStudy (anonymous):

parallel lines have the same slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope is 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation is y=6x+12

OpenStudy (amorfide):

you just answered the question celeste credit goes to @~hello

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right, so for it to be the same line, you would just need the y-intercept to be different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have one more question the alternate exterior angles formed when two parallel are intersected by transversal are congruent or supplementary

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that wasn't the answer... I don't think... well, technically it is parallel, but I think it wants different lines, so you would need the y-intercept to be different.

OpenStudy (holly00d1248):

the answer is 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah sorry read the question wrong. I thought it wanted an equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you had it right

OpenStudy (holly00d1248):

this is Y=MX+B where M is slope and B is Y-Intercept i says parallel if they arnt the same slope theyd intercect at some point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is a different question is it congruent or supplementary the alternate exterior angles formed when two parallel are intersected by a transversal are

OpenStudy (holly00d1248):

o srry didnt see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah sorry got distracted the answer is congruent
