Question 210750: A linear equation that represents a line parallel to the graph of y=7/4x-3 would have what slope?
Answer by tutor_paul(519) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The key thing to know is parallel lines have the same slope. From the equation you are given, rewrite it in y=mx+b form. The slope is then just read off the equation as m.
Your given equation is:
Hopefully, the x is in the denominator as you indicated - use parenthesis next time so it's more clear.
Re-writing in y=mx+b form:
Now you can see the slope (m) is simply:
Any and all lines parallel to y=7/4x-3 have this same slope.
