Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 4x – 2y = 7?

Answer 1

Answer:2

First, solve for y

-2y=7-4x

Y=2x-7/2

y=mx+b

What we really want to know is the slope(m)

Answer 2

Answer:

Use the slope-intercept form  

y = m x + b

to find the slope  m  and y-intercept  b .

Slope:  

2

y-intercept:  

− 7 2

Lines with the same slope are parallel.

parallel = 2
