Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

a.  2

b.  - (1/2)

Discussion:

a. The slope of the line y = 2x +3 is 2. A line parallel to this lien has the same slope, that is, 2.


b. Two lines are perpendicular if the products of their slopes is -1. Sine the slope of the original line is 2 the slope. "m", of the perpendicular line is given by

2*m = -1

or

m = -1/2

Thank you,

MrB

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for a parallel line follows the form: y = mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

a. A line that is parallel to the another line should have the same slope with a different y-intercept.

b. a line that is perpendicular should have an x value and a y value in common and a reciprocal slope
