Example Question #21 : How To Find The Slope Of Parallel Lines
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to ?
To find the slope of a line parallel to any equation, the slopes will always be the same. We need to ensure we have form. stands for slope. In this case, which is also our answer.
Example Question #21 : How To Find The Slope Of Parallel Lines
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to ?
When finding the slope of a parallel line, we need to ensure we have form.
We need to solve for .
By adding both sides and dividing on both sides, we get stands for slope.
Our is which is also the slope of the parallel line.
Example Question #23 : How To Find The Slope Of Parallel Lines
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to
When finding the slope of a parallel line, we need to ensure we have form.
We need to solve for .
By subtracting both sides and dividing on both sides, we get
Recall that stands for slope.
Our is or which is also the slope of the parallel line.
Example Question #22 : How To Find The Slope Of Parallel Lines
Find the slope of a line parallel to a line with the equation:
When finding the slope of a parallel line, the slope will be the same as the other equation given.
In order to determine the slope from an equation we need to make sure that it is written in the following format:
If the equation of a line is written in the slope-intercept form, then is slope and is the y-intercept.
In this case, the slop is . This is also the slope of the parallel line.
Example Question #22 : How To Find The Slope Of Parallel Lines
Find the slope of a line parallel to a line with the equation:
When finding the slope of a parallel line, the slope will be the same as the other equation given.
In order to determine the slope from an equation we need to make sure that it is written in the following format:
If the equation of a line is written in the slope-intercept form, then is slope and is the y-intercept.
In this case, we need to convert the equation into slope-intercept form.
Subtract from both sides.
Divide both sides by .
Rewrite.
Identify the slope.
The slope is or . This is also the slope of the parallel line.
