Line p has a slope of  
2
1
​
 . What is the slope of a line parallel to line p?

The slope of a line parallel to line \( p \) will be the same as the slope of line \( p \). Since the slope of line \( p \) is \( \frac{2}{1} \), or simply \( 2 \), the slope of any line parallel to line \( p \) will also be \( 2 \).

### Do you have any questions or need more details on this?

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
1. What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line \( p \)?
2. How do you find the slope of a line given two points on the line?
3. How would you write the equation of a line parallel to \( p \) passing through a specific point?
4. Can a vertical line have a parallel line? What would its slope be?
5. How do you determine if two lines are parallel using their equations?

**Tip:** For any two lines to be parallel, their slopes must be equal, regardless of where they are on the coordinate plane.

Line p has a slope of 2/1. What is the slope of a line parallel to line p?

Learn how to determine the slope of a line parallel to line p, which has a slope of 2/1. Understand key algebraic concepts like slopes and parallel lines. Suitable for students in Grades 7-8.
