Answer:

slope = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c (m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

5x + y = - 9 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

y = - 5x - 9 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 5

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

The slope of a parallel line to the given equation is m = - 5

Answer:

if it's area the area would be the length of the diameter of the semi circle which is the height of the triangle multiplied by the base of the triangle to find the area of the triangle then to find the area of the circle would be pie multiplied by the diameter divided by two squared

$\pi \ \times 7 {}^{2}$
