Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line y=3x+7

Answer 1

One equation of a straight line in general form is y = mx + c where m is the slope of the line.

So, comparing equations, we see that the slope of y = 3x + 7 is 3.

So the slope of a line parallel to y = 3x + 7 = 3.

Answer 2

Hi there!

A line that is parallel to another line will have the same slope. In point slope form(y=mx+b), the slope is m. Therefore any line with slope 3 is parallel to y=3x+7.
