Question

what is the slope of a line is PARALLEL to the line with this equation y=7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20x%20%2B%207" id="TexFormula1" title="y = \frac{1}{2} x + 7" alt="y = \frac{1}{2} x + 7" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">

Answer 1

Our line equation is

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+7$

where the slope m=1/2 and the y-intercept b is b=7.

Parallel lines has the same slope. Hence, their slope is always

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

in this case.
