Question

How do you find the slope of a parallel line y=2x+7?

Answer 1

`m = 2`

Explanation:

The form `y = mx + c` is called slope-intercept form because the slope and the intercept can be read off immediately.

The line `y = 2x + 7` has a slope, `m` = 2.

Any line parallel to this line will therefore also have `m = 2`
