Do you have answer choices?
OpenStudy (jacob902):
no i have to type it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh I read the question wrong sorry. So with parallel, the slops will be the same.
sammixboo (sammixboo):
Well, we know the slopes would have to be the same, correct?
AND
The y-intercept (where the line starts at) has to be different. Do you know why?

y=5x?
sammixboo (sammixboo):
Hmm, let's have a y-intercept. We know we have to have the 5x in there (because it's the slope and the slopes have to be the same)
sammixboo (sammixboo):
All you have to do for this question is change the 3 (the y-intercept) in y = 5x + 3
So fill in the blank
y = 5x + _
OR
y = 5x - _
OpenStudy (jacob902):
i think the final answer is 5 am i right ?
sammixboo (sammixboo):
Doesn't matter what number it is, as long as it isn't positive 3

So yes it can be
y = 5x + 5
It can also be
y = 5x - 13
OpenStudy (jacob902):
i understand thanks
