Question

7x+5y=1 what is the slope of a line parallel to this line​

Answer 1

`\textbf{The slope of the parallel line is given by $ (-7)/(5)$}\\`

Explanation:

`\textup{The slope of any two parallel lines are equal and they only differ in their $y- intercepts$. }\\\textup{Given $7x + 5y = 1$}\\\textup{This can be written as: $y = (-7)/(5)x + (1)/(5)$}\\\textup{This is now comparable to $y = mx + c$, where $m$ is the slope of that line.}\\\textup{Therefore, the slope of the given line and any parallel to it is $(-7)/(5)$.}`
