Question

Identify the slope of the line that would be parallel to the given line. 1. y = 5 - 3x ​

Answer 1

`\textbf{The slope of the parallel line is given by $ -3 $}\\`

Explanation:

`\textup{The slope of any two parallel lines are equal and they only differ in their $y- intercepts$. }\\\textup{Given $y = 5 - 3x$}\\\textup{This can be written as: $y = -3x + 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 line parallel to it is $-3$.}`
