Question

What is the slope of the line parallel to the line represented by the equation y = -5x + 3?

A) 3
B) -5
C) -3
D) 1/5

Answer 1

The slope is the same as -5 so its B

Explanation:

The only difference is the y intercept but the slope has to be the same for it to increase the same rate as its parallel line. Though it's parallel it cannot start from 3 (in-5x+3) but it can start from 4, 5, or 6, or any number
