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 y=3x+2y = 3x + 2 is the same as the slope of this given line.

For a line in the form y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope, the slope of y=3x+2y = 3x + 2 is m=3m = 3.

Therefore, the slope of a line parallel to this one is also 3.

  2. How can you find the equation of a line parallel to y=3x+2y = 3x + 2 passing through a specific point?
  3. What does the y-intercept represent in the equation y=3x+2y = 3x + 2?
  4. How do you find the slope of a line given two points?
  5. How can you determine if two lines are parallel just from their equations?

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