Question

For each linear equation write the slope of a line parallel to the given line.

y=-3x+5

Answer 1

what's the slope of \(\bf y=-3x+5\) anyway?

Answer 2

For each linear equation write the slope of a line parallel to the given line.

y=7x-3
For each linear equation write the slope of a line parallel to the given line.

3x-2y=8

Answer 3

-3x

Answer 4

well... just the coefficient
but yes \(\bf y={\color{brown}{ -3}} x+5\qquad \qquad {\color{brown}{ slope}}\)

well, any other line that is parallel to that one, will also have the same exact slope :)

Answer 5

So like y=-3x+3 would work?

Answer 6

sure
lemme graph them both

notice, they're parallel :)

Answer 7

Ohh okay so can i just write the answer as -3?

Answer 8

yeap, the slope IS -3

Answer 9

Thank you
