Question

What slope would make the lines
parallel?
y = 5x + 2
y = [?]x + 3

Answer 1

5

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Parallel lines have the same slope

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope

• b - y-intercept

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

Our given slope is 5. Therefore, our parallel slope is also 5.
