For a good time, solve this shmoopy question...

00:05

What is the slope of a line parallel to Y equals 3/4 X plus 1?

00:10

And here are your options...

00:13

Okay, the line they give us is

00:16

already in the Y equals MX plus B format

00:20

So we just need to identify the M here

00:24

and its this thing... 3/4. Parallel lines

00:27

all have the same slope so anything of slope 3/4

00:31

will be parallel to anything else with slope of 3/4.

00:35

Looks like C is our answer.
