You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Two lines that are parallel must have the same slope.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "First, determine the slope of:
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 2y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "Do this by converting it to the \"slope-intercept\" form of:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m is the slope
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 2y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "2y = -8x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "slope is -2
\n" ); document.write( "Which is also your answer. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
