Hi student, let me help you out! :)

We are asked to find the slope of the line that is parallel to the line $\star~\mathrm{y=-\cfrac{2}{5}x+\cfrac{4}{5}}$.

$\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}$

• Parallel lines have the same slope.

So let's first determine the slope of the first line, and then let's find the slope of the line that's parallel to it.

$\circ\!\!\!\star\mathcal{HINT:}$

• The slope is the coefficient of x.

So the slope is

$\star~\mathrm{-\cfrac{2}{5}}$.

Can you guess the slope of the line that is parallel to the first line?

That's right! The slope is...

$\star~\mathrm{-\cfrac{2}{5}}$

Hope it helps you out! :D
