Question

Find the slope of a line parallel to 3x – y = 1

Answer 1

The slope is 3 for the line parallel

Answer 2

3x – y = 1

solve for y

subtract 3x from each side

-y = -3x -1

divide by -1

y = 3x+1

the slope is 3

parallel lines have the same slope so the parallel line has a slope of 3

Answer: 3
