Answer: x/2 or 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
rise over run a/b
Answer:
The amplitude is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let f(x) be a sinusoid function that has the following format:

Then b is the amplitude of the function
h is the vertical displacement of the wave
s is the phase angle
is the period.
In this problem 
Then 
Therefore the amplitude of the function is 
The amplitude is a measure of the vertical size of the sinx wave
Parallel lines have to have the same slope. The must stay the same distance apart at all times to be parallel and the only way to do that is to change in exactly the same manner as they move so slope is the change in x over the change in y. it must be the same
