Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 8x — 10y = –60.

Answer 1

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel, then they have the same slope. So, we first need to put the equation in slope intercept form (y = kx + b)

8x - 10y = -60

-10y = -8x - 60

y = 4/5x + 6

So the slope is 4/5.

Answer 2

Answer:

In slope intercept form -5y = -4 - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y=mx + b

Rewrite your equation in this form

-10y = -8x - 60

Find GCF (Greatest Common Factor) in this case it is 2

Divide all by 2

-5y = -4x - 30
