Find the slope of a line parallel to 2x-y=18

The slope of line parallel to 2x-y = 18 will be 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  

The equation of a line : 2x – y = 18

The standard form of an equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+c

So, we will have to convert the given equation in the standard form.

2x-y=18

-y=-2x+18

-y= -(2x-18)

y=2x-18

The coefficient of x in this form is the slope of the line.

So,

m_1=2

We know that slopes of two parallel lines are equal so if the given line has slope 2, all the lines parallel to this line have slope 2..

For this case, we have by definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal:

We have the following equation:

We rewrite the equation of the form:

Thus, a parallel line will have a slope
