What is the slope of a line parallel to a line with slope -2?
For two lines to be parallel they must have the same slope. A line parallel to a line with slope -2 would have a slope of -2.
The slope of a line is 2 3 what is the slope of a line that is parallel to it?
if the slope of a line is 2/3, then the slope of a parallel line would be 2/3.
What is the slope of the line parallel to the line whose slope is 5 over 2?
The slope is 5 over 2, if they're paralell they have the same slope
The lines shown below are parallel. If the green line has a slope of -2, what is the slope of the red line?
-2 (APEX)
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to y 5x 3?
It has the same slope as the line in the question. If a line has equation y = mx + c, its slope is m. If the line in question is y = 5x + 3, the slope of a parallel line is 5; If the line in question is y + 5x = 3 → y = -5x + 3 (subtract 5x from both sides), the slope of a parallel line is -5.
What is the slope of a line parallel to a line with slope -2?
For two lines to be parallel they must have the same slope. A line parallel to a line with slope -2 would have a slope of -2.
The slope of a line is 2 3 what is the slope of a line that is parallel to it?
if the slope of a line is 2/3, then the slope of a parallel line would be 2/3.
Find the slope of a line parallel to the graph of y 4x 2?
y = 4x + 2 Find the slope of a line parallel to the given equation. First, let's take a look at what it means to be parallel. The easiest way to look at it, is to think of railroad tracks. Parallel lines are the same distance apart for EVERY point on the line. This means, parallel lines will NEVER, ever cross. There will never be a point in common with both. Now think about how this will help us with our slope in the equation. Try to answer the following. Our parallel line will have: a) the same slope as the given line OR b) a different slope as the given line That's right, (a). If you're asked to find the equation/slope of a parallel line to a given line, the parallel line will always have the exact SAME slope as your given line! Since our given line y= 4x +2 has a slope of 4, the parallel line to y = 4x +2 will also have a slope of 4. Remember, the general form of a linear equation is y = mx +b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept.
What is the slope of a parallel line?
Parallel lines have the same slope. So if you have a line with slope = 2, for example, and another line is parallel to the first line, it will also have slope = 2.
What is the slope of a line parallel to a line whose slope is 2?
2. Parallel lines have the same slope.
Write in slope intercept form the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point?
Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2, -8).
What is the slope of the line that is parallel to 6x plus 3y equals -9?
6x + 3y = -9 So 3y = -6x - 9 or y = -2x - 3 So the slope of the given line is -2 Therefore, the slope a any parallel line is also -2.
For the line given by y2x find the slope of a line that is Parallel m Perpendicular m?
The line y = 2x If you put it into the form y = mx + b, you have y = 2x + 0 so the slope is 2. Lines parallel to that line have the same slope, 2. Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1. The slope of a perpendicular line to a line of slope 2 would be -1/2.
What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x y 4 -2 - 2?
1) Solve the given equation for "y". The resulting equation will be in slope-intercept form, so you can immediately read off its slope. 2) Any line parallel to that line will have the same slope.
What is the slope of a line parallel to -8x plus y 2?
The slope of a line parallel to -8x + y = 2 is -8.
What is the slope of a line parallel to the line containing the points -4 -9 and 3 -6?
The slope, m, of a line given 2 points is: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). m = (-6 - (-9)) /(3-(-4)) or 3/7. Therefore parallel line slope is 3/7.
What is the slope of the line parallel to the line whose slope is 5 over 2?
The slope is 5 over 2, if they're paralell they have the same slope
