Problema Solution
Two lines are parallel. The equation of the first line is y = –3x + 5. Which of the following cannot be the equation of the second line?
Answer provided by our tutors
the problem statement is incomplete because no choices are shown, but parallel lines have the same slope
the standard form for a linear equation is "y=mx+b" where the slope "m" may then be determined by inspecting the equation
the slope of this line, then, is -3, and therefore all parallel lines will also have a slope of -3
