Question

*BRAINLIEST* The lines below are parallel. If the slope of the green line is 8/5, what is the slope of the red line?​

Answer 1

Answer:  8/5

Any two parallel lines always have the same slope (but different y intercepts)

The equation of the green line is y = (8/5)x+6

The equation of the red line is y = (8/5)x-3

Slope intercept form is y = mx+b with m as the slope and b as the y intercept.

The slopes must be the same so that each time the line goes up some amount, we move to the right the same amount. Think of a set of stairs to possibly visualize what I mean. If the slopes are different (even slightly), then the lines will intersect at some point and we wouldn't have parallel lines.

Answer 2

If the two lines are parallel, then they have the same slope of 8/5
