Facts:
\n" ); document.write( "1. Parallel lines share the same slopes.
\n" ); document.write( "2. The Slope-Intercept Form of a Line is: \"y=mx%2Bb\" where m=slope
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Steps:
\n" ); document.write( "a. Turn your equation to the Slope-Intercept Form
\n" ); document.write( "b. The value you get as a coefficient of x is your slope and by definition, it is also the slope of a parallel line.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x-8y=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-8y=4x%2B1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%284%2F-8%29x%2B%281%2F8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%281%2F2%29x%2B%281%2F8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Your slope is: \"-%281%2F2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
