Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 5x - 3y = 1 PLS HELP!

Answer 1

Parallel lines refers to a pair of straight lines that never intercept or touch each other. The slopes of this lines is the same one.

On this exercise is given the equation of a line, and is asked to find the slope of a line that is parallel to the given one.

5x-3y=1                     Subtract 5x in both sides
    -3y=-5x+1              Divide by -3 in both sides to isolate y
       y=5/3x-1/3


The slope of the given line, 5x-3y=1, is 5/3, which means that the slope of a line parallel to this one, would be 5/3. 

Answer 2

The slope would be 5, if they are parallel they would have the same slope
