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 the given line. The equation is in slope-intercept form, y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm represents the slope. For the line y=3x+2y = 3x + 2, the slope mm is 33.

Thus, the slope of a line parallel to this line is also 33.
