What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 3x - y =
reduce your answer.
-5. Fully:

Answer 1

3x - y = -5

-3x -3x

-y = -3x -5

-1 -1 -1

y = 3x + 5

Explanation:

1. subtract 3x from both sides. 3x cancel 3x, but it can't cancel -5 since it doesn't have any x.
2. since y is negative, divide both sides by -1.
3. the slope here is 3x, but the slope intercept form is y = 3x + 5
