Question

Find the slope of a line parallel to -2/5x+ 4/5

Answer 1

slope = -
`(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = -
`(2)/(5)` x +
`(4)/(5)` ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = -
`(2)/(5)`

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

Slope of a parallel line = -
`(2)/(5)`
