Question

Find the slope of any line parallel to the following function.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

We need to rearrange this equation to get into form.

Begin by adding 6 to both sides to get

Next, divide both sides by 4 to get our slope

$y= $\frac{3}{4}$x+\frac{18}{4}$$

So our slope, m, is equal to 3/4. Therefore, any line with the slope 3/4 will be parallel to the original function.
