Answer:

  1. m = 1/2
  2. lines are parallel when the slopes are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given line is in "slope-intercept form."

  y = mx + b . . . . . . . . line with slope m and y-intercept b

Comparing this to the given equation, we see ...

  m = 1/2 . . . . slope of given line

__

Two lines are parallel when they have the same slope. Then the value of m that makes the second line parallel to the first is the same value of m:

  m = 1/2

_____

2) Lines with the same slope are parallel, so the value of m needs to match the coefficient of x (the slope) in the given equation.
