you have the equation for you already which is nice

kayders1997 · Answer

which is the slope in this equation?

anonymous · Answer

So how would I answer it? I'm confused on what the question is asking.

anonymous · Answer

I don't know that's all the teacher gave me to work with.

kayders1997 · Answer

okay so you have the equation y=mx+b where m is your slope and b is the y intercept so what is your slope

anonymous · Answer

Is it 3?

kayders1997 · Answer

yes :)

anonymous · Answer

Thank you(: So to answer the question all I would write is 3?

kayders1997 · Answer

Now that you found your slope you need to know how it relates to the parallel slope, the parallel slope will stay the same if you have a perpendicular slope you change the sign from positive to negative and than flip the fraction by yes 3 is the answer for the slope and since we don't have a point we can't do any more
