Question

What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the wine represented by the equation y=-2/5x+4/5?

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{2}{5}$

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 )

y = - $\frac{2}{5}$ x + $\frac{4}{5}$ ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{2}{5}$

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

m = - $\frac{2}{5}$ ← is slope of parallel line
