Question

Find the slope of the line parallel to the equation $y+2x=2$

• A. -2
• B. 2
• C. 1
• D. -1

Answer 1

The correct option is A -2

The slope intercept form of the line is $y=mx+c$, where $m$ is the slope of the line and $c$ is the $y$-intercept.

Change the equation $y+2x=2$ in slope intercept form:

$y+2x=2$

$y=-2x+2$

Therefore, the slope of the line $y+2x=2$ is $m=-2$.

Since the parallel lines have same slope.

Hence, the slope of the line parallel to the line $y+2x=2$ is $m=-2$.
