Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 4x + 5y = -35.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -4/5x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step 1: Write equation in slope-intercept form

5y = -35 - 4x

y = -7 - 4/5x

Step 2: Write parallel line equation

y = -4/5x + 5

A parallel line is a line that has the same slope as the previous equation but a different y-intercept. They never intersect.
