Question

Line q has a slope of 5/3. Line r is parallel to line q. What is the slope if line r?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope remains a constant $m=\frac{5}{3}$ as it is parallel.

Explanation:

1. Line Q is defined as a slope of $\frac{5}{3}$; i.e. $y=\frac{5}{3}$

2. Line R is defined to be parallel of Line Q.

3. Line Q is linear and has no domain restrictions.

The definition of being parallel requires the same slope.
