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.
Parallel lines have the same slope. So if you put the equation 4x + y -1 = 0 into the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line (y = mx + b), you can read the slope, m, from it. Rearranging that equation gives: y = -4x + 1. The slope of both lines is -4. If the new line passes through the (x, y) point (1, 2), you can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line and plug in the values to find the equation of the new line: y - y1 = m(x - x1) y - 2 = -4(x - 1) y - 2 = -4x + 4 y = -4x + 6
The slope is -4
If: -4x+3y = 1 Then: 3y = 4x+1 And: y = 4/3x+1/3 which is now in slope-intercept form
4x-5y = 13 -5y = -4x+13 y = 4/5x-13/5 Slope = 4/5 or 0.8
If you mean: 4x-2y = -3 then the slope of the line parallel to it will also have a slope of 2 but with a different y intercept
The graph of [ y = 4x + 2 ] is a straight line with a slope of 4.Any line with a slope of 4 is parallel to that one, and any line parallel to that one has a slope of 4.
If you mean: 4x-2y = -3 then in its slope-intercept form it is y = 2x+1.5 and the slope of the line parallel to it will also be 2 but with a different y intercept

If you mean: y = -4x+3 then the parallel equation will have the same slope but a different y intercept
Type your answer here... Two parallel lines have the same slope. For example: 1/4x + 5 has a slope of 1/4 and y-intercept of 5 1/4x + 9 has a slope of 1/4 and y-intercept of 9 These two lines are PARALLEL.
Y = -2x + 5 so the slope of this equation, along with the slopes of parallel equations, is -2
[ y = -4x + any positive or negative number except 4 ] is parallel to [ y = -4x + 4 ].Their slopes are all -4.
4x+y = 14 will be parallel to the above equation because the slope or gradient remains the same but the y intercept changes.
