Math Problem Statement
What is the slope of a line parallel to line y = 3x + 2?
Solution
The slope of a line parallel to the line is the same as the slope of this given line.
For a line in the form , where is the slope, the slope of is .
Therefore, the slope of a line parallel to this one is also 3.
