Explicit the equation:
y=−3x+15
Since every parallel line is of the form y=−3x+q, we have its slope is always m=−3
(To prove this, you might consider an m such that −3x+15−mx−q=0 has no solution for every q 15 , it is pretty obvious you have to consider the only m such that -3-m=0, or you will have a linear equation which has always a solution)
