Question 112320: y = 3x - 8
How do you find the slope of a line parallel to the graph of each equation?

Answer by checkley71(8403)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
THE SLOPE OF A LINE IS THEm TERM IN THE LINE EQUATION [Y=mX+b].
IN YOUR EXAMPLE Y=3X-8 THE SLOPE=3.
ANY LINE WITH A SLOPE=3 IS PARALLEL TO THIS LINE.
THE SLOPE IS FOUND BY THE FORMULA REQUIRING A SET OF POINTS (X1,Y1) & (X2,Y2) USING THE EQUATION: m=(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
