Question

7x+5y=1 what is the slope of a line parallel to this line​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\textbf{The slope of the parallel line is given by \frac{-7}{5} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\textup{The slope of any two parallel lines are equal and they only differ in their y- intercepts . }\\\textup{Given 7x + 5y = 1 }\\\textup{This can be written as: y = \frac{-7}{5}x + \frac{1}{5} }\\\textup{This is now comparable to y = mx + c , where m is the slope of that line.}\\\textup{Therefore, the slope of the given line and any parallel to it is \frac{-7}{5} .}$
