Find the slope of a parallel line for y = (-3/4)x + 2
Parallel lines have the same exact slope.
The above equation is given in the y-intercept form y = mx + b, where m = the slope and b is the y intercept.
Since m is the slope and the negative fraction (-3/4) stands in front of x, the slope is the same fraction.
Your slope is: (-3/4).
