Example Questions
Example Question #53 : Coordinate Geometry
Which of the following lines would be parallel to the line described by the equation?
The way to determine parallel lines is to look at the slope. That means when you look at the equation in slope-intercept form, 
In the given problem, the slope is 
Example Question #54 : Coordinate Geometry
Which of the following lines would be parallel to 
Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. When looking at the standard line equation 
Example Question #55 : Coordinate Geometry
What is the slope of the line that runs through points 
Use the slope formula (difference between 
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Slope Of Parallel Lines
A line that is parallel to 
Two lines that are parallel have the same slope. The line given above is in slope-intercept form, 
Example Question #57 : Coordinate Geometry
Which of the following equations are parallel to 
For one equation to be parallel to another, the only requirement is that they must have the same slope. In order to figure out which answer choice is parallel to the given equation, you must first find the slope of the equation:
From the simplified equation, you can see that the slope is 
The answer choice that has the same slope is 
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Slope Of Parallel Lines
Which of the following is parallel to a line described by
The definition of parallel lines tells us that if two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. Since these lines are described in the slope-intercept form, we know that the slope of these lines are given by the coefficient of the 
The slope in the given equation is 4, so a parallel line would also have a slope of 4. The only answer with this slope is
Example Question #59 : Coordinate Geometry
Which of the following is parallel to the line described by
The definition of parallel lines tells us that if two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. Since these lines are described in the slope-intercept form, we know that the slope of these lines are given by the coefficient of the 
The slope in the given equation is 
Example Question #3 : How To Find The Slope Of Parallel Lines
Which of the following is parallel to the line described by
The definition of parallel lines tells us that if two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. Since these lines are described in the slope-intercept form, we know that the slope of these lines are given by the coefficient of the 
The slope in the given equation is 3, so a parallel line would also have a slope of 3. The only answer with this slope is
