Question 519003: Find the slope of a line parallel to the graph of each equation.
1) y = .5x + 4
2) y = 6
3) 7x - y = 5
4) y = 4x -8

Use the "slope-intercept" form to determine the slope remembering that parallel lines have identical slopes.
Slope-intercept form:
where m = the slope and b = the y-intercept.
1) Here, m = 0.5 and b = 4.
2) Here m = 0 and b = 6.
3) Rearrange this to:
m = 7 and b = -5.
4) Here m = 4 and b = -8
