Find the slope of the line parallel to y=9/23x +18

Answer 1

Hi Zozo!

The word "parallel" is just another way of saying "line with the same slope".

Since the original function is already in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept), you can tell that the slope of that line will be 9/23.

Any line that is parallel will have to have the same slope (9/23).

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Zozo,

Any line that has the same slope (9/23) will be parallel to Y = 9/23X + 18. Does the problem say it has to go through a specific point?
