The slope of a parallel line is 1

Explanation:

Remember that the slope intercept formula is

y = mx + b

where m is slope and b is the y intercept.

For the equation y = x + 7, the slope is 1

The definition of a parallel line graphically speaking is another line of the same slope that intersects another point on the graph. Therefore, the slope of a parallel line is 1.

Explanation:

Given equation

y = x + 7

It’s in the form of

y = mx + c

Where m = "slope of the line"

On comparing two equations, we get m = 1

Therefore, slope of the line and any line parellel to it is 1
