Question

If a line has a slope of −5/6, a line that is parallel has a slope of what?

A) -5/6
B) 6/5
C) 5/6
D) -6/5

Answer 1

A line parallel to another with a slope of -5/6 will also have a slope of -5/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line has a slope of −5/6, then a line that is parallel to this line would have the same slope. Parallel lines never intersect and have the same steepness; thus, they also have the same slope value. Hence, the correct answer is A) -5/6.
