I need to find the slope of a line parallel to each line. Rewrite the equation in the form y = mx + b if necessary.
\n" ); document.write( "1/3y = 2/3x - 4/3 ( I got an answer of 2 for the slope, but I'm not sure I did it right and there are no examples)
\n" ); document.write( "another one is 3y = -15x + 6 ( I got -5 for the slope) just let me know if they're right or what I'm doing wrong, please.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "To rewrite:
\n" ); document.write( "1/3y = 2/3x - 4/3
\n" ); document.write( "in the form of:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 3:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2x - 4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "And, yes, your slope is 2.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "****************************************
\n" ); document.write( "Your second one is correct also! \n" ); document.write( "
