Answer:
-5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines are lines which have the exact same slope but different y-intercepts. We can find the slope by converting to slope-intercept form, y=mx+b from standard form.
We convert by using inverse operations to isolate y.
5x+3y=7
5x-5x+3y=7-5x
0x+3y=-5x+7
3y=-5x+7
.
The slope is -5/3. SInce parallel lines have the same slope, the slope for a parallel line will be -5/3.
