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

$y = - 3 x - 2$

Step 1

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope.

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

$y = m x + b$

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $- 3$ .

$m = - 3$

Step 2

All lines that are parallel to $y = - 3 x - 2$ have the same slope of $- 3$ .

$m_{parallel} = - 3$
