what is the slope of a line parallel to a line whose equation is y=11x+2

Question

I need some assistance on this math question.

Answer 1

Slope-Intercept Form for a Line

y=mx+b

y=11x+2

 

m=slope=11

b=y-intercept=2

 

Parallel lines have the same slope, therefore any line with slope 11 and and y-intercept not equal to 2 is parallel to the given line. So the y-intercept can be any real number except 2. 

Answer 2

If it is parallel, it must have the same slope, which is

 

m = 11

 

Any line of slope 11 is parallel to the given line.
