The slope of all lines parallel to $y=4x$ is $4$ .

All parallel lines have the same slope.

Any line in the form $y=mx+b$ is in slope-intercept form with a slope of $m$ and a y-intercept of $b$ .

Writing $y=4x$ as $y=4x+0$ lets us consider the equation to be in slope-intercept form
with a slope of $4$ .
