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

$\frac{3y}{3} =\frac{-5x+7}{3} \\y=\frac{-5}{3}x+\frac{7}{3}$ .

The slope is -5/3. SInce parallel lines have the same slope, the slope for a parallel line will be -5/3.
