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

slope = -
`(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = -
`(2)/(5)` x +
`(4)/(5)` ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = -
`(2)/(5)`

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

m = -
`(2)/(5)` ← is slope of parallel line
