    Family of graphs

    Explain why the graphs of y = -2x + 3 and y = 2x + 3 are a family of graphs.

    My answer is:

    They are a family because they have the same slope.

    Let me know if I'm right or wrong?

    Wrong.

    One is +2 and another is -2.

    Okay thanks.

    They are a family because they have the same y-intercept.
