# How do you find the slope of a parallel line y=2x+7?

Sep 2, 2016

$m = 2$

#### Explanation:

The form $y = m x + c$ is called slope-intercept form because the slope and the intercept can be read off immediately.

The line $y = 2 x + 7$ has a slope, $m$ = 2.

Any line parallel to this line will therefore also have $m = 2$
