What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the following linear equations?
:
You should know that parallel lines all have the same slope, so if you find the
slope of this equation you will know the slope of lines parallel to it.
:
6y + 2x = 9
:
Put this equation into the slope/intercept form: y = mx + b; (m is the slope)
:
Subtract 2x from both sides:
6y = -2x - 9
:
Divide both sides by 6
y = -(2/6)x - 9/6
:
y = -(1/3)x - 3/2
:
the slope (m)= -(1/3)
