Find the Slope of a Parallel Line y=3/2x+2/3

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + \frac{2}{3}$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Simplify the right side.

Combine $\frac{3}{2}$ and $x$ .

$y = \frac{3 x}{2} + \frac{2}{3}$

Reorder terms.

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + \frac{2}{3}$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $\frac{3}{2}$ .

$m = \frac{3}{2}$

Step 3

All lines that are parallel to $y = \frac{3}{2} x + \frac{2}{3}$ have the same slope of $\frac{3}{2}$ .

$m_{parallel} = \frac{3}{2}$
