If two lines are parallel what does must be true for their slopes?
Mia
I didn't mean to type does

the slopes will be the same?
Mia
Yes and in order to know the slope what form does an equation have to be in?

slope intercept form
m= y2-y1/
x2-x1
m= y2-y1/
x2-x1
Mia
You have the name of the form write but that equation is point slope form
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

okay, but i still don't understand on how to solve this
Mia
The equation they gave you is in slope intercept form and you already know the slopes are the same. You just need to know the slope of the given equation.
Mia
in y=mx+b form
y=y value
m=slope
x=x value
b= y-intercept
y=y value
m=slope
x=x value
b= y-intercept

oh okay thanks :)
